Writing, painting, and sculpture are combined to create a colorful world of rag tag signs made out of found wood that reveal the fleeting moments in life that can be tender and precious, as well as bitter and disheartening.

Inspired by eavesdropping on peoples’ conversations, dreams, hand-painted signs, the naive innocence of religious fanaticism and the blunt and bombarding (mis)use of language in our media-blitzed society, this show is loud and abrasive as it mirrors our culture’s advertisement frenzy while allowing stories to unfold and everyday sentiments to be uttered.
