The Masses

Monday, September 13, 2010 - Thursday, September 16, 2010
Reception Thursday, September 16th from 5-7pm.

The Masses, an exhibit by Joey Salamon

The primary medium of my work will be collage. The idea of "over-abundance" "complexity" and "anti-structure" are key to the pieces being made specifically for this show. I wanted to somewhat forget the rigidness of composition and solely focus on the details of organic mass, whether it be through metaphor or describing the physicalness of certain subject matter.
