SHAWN BITTERS, MATTHEW DEREZINSKI, MIKE SLEADD AND CHRIS TEETER
DECEMBER 7, 2012 – JANUARY 11, 2013
SHAWN BITTERS creates an unsteady environment for us as we walk into the space his sculptures encompass. Bitters creates rock formations that seem to emerge from the wall or grow up from the floor as they take form and substance organically. The rocks are created through a combination of printmaking and papermaking.
MATTHEW DEREZINSKI incorporates decaying architecture, nature and the mid-western landscape into the various layers of his works. In each work, Derezinski invites the viewer into the work on a subconscious and emotional level. The photographic manipulated imagery encourages the viewer to navigate the implied narratives in their own way, based on their own personal experience.
MIKE SLEADD AND CHRIS TEETER come together in this two person show entitled, Watch Your Head. Sleadd uses simple subjects to express their deeper identities through the use of line, ink and pen. Teeter delves into the world of sculpture, while trying to understand and explore the nature of the world that is surrounding him.
