MESSAGES + MEDITATIONS: TWO NEW CONCURRENT SOLO SHOWS @KLG
Artist Talk + Closing Reception: Saturday, November 11th @ 3pm Brian Flinn's, Message in a Bottle + Roy Money, Clouds: A Temporary Matter. Brian Flinn states that the basis for his most recent body of work was the discovery of "a small cache of old bottles (c. 1920's)" in his basement one month after his wife's passing: "As I tried to reconcile the loss of the most important person in my life, I wanted to drop messages into each of these bottles and cast them over the chasm to reach her ... the desire to communicate with the incommunicable." Yet amidst expressions of impermanence and mourning, Flinn offers hope, stating the works also reflect "my hopes for all the wonders of the yet unknown." Simultaneously, Roy Money offers a meditation on the "hovering visitors above, energy systems governed by the same principles of chemistry and gravity as us down below." Becoming now the subjects of his photographs, rather than merely background material, Money references indigenous cultures who saw "the insentient world as an integral part of a vast spectrum of being." Money states that it is with similar sensibility that he "explores the many manifestations of clouds, as their coming and going emblematic of the process of creation itself." MORE INFO HERE
