"Messages with a Code ", 2010
Norwood Flynn Gallery, Dallas TX
|
The title "Messages With a Code" inverts Roland Barthes' well-known quote regarding photography; works in the exhibition contain a variety of codes or clues to their interpretation. Norwood Flynn Gallery is located in a 1940's cottage on the south shore of Bachman Lake. I have created several small installations that interact with its unique spaces, "Ten Degrees of Separation", "Friday Scribbles" , "Source" and "Red Work: the Search for Allen Gray". My works derive meaning through their relationship to personal narratives and to my ongoing investigation into the nature of photography and sculpture.
