This is an amazing blog! Make sure you check it out! In 3,600 miles and 10 days, these 5 lovely ladies (and friends of mine) experience and document the monumental earthworks of the American west.

“Falling Apart and Into Place”
Nick Griffin
Opening: Friday, March 2nd, 7-9 PM
Find FORUS on Facebook
Nick Griffin operates within the framework of painting, making marks on a surface. His work, however much related to painting, is entirely sculptural. Each of the works presented in this show develop on the idea that a work is not necessarily made as much as it is found or discovered in some varying state of dissolution. Griffin’s work explores the liminal ground where creation meets evolution. His studio is full of found furniture that has been wasted, abused, and ignored. It is from this collection that Nick harvests his painterly marks. He uses residential artifacts, which in combination and composition, become raw color that reflect both an age and experience that transcend the hands of the maker. These entropic designs are constantly subject to revision as they become abstracted self-referential objects. His work explores the beautiful in the ruinous actions of chaos shown here through the ignored motions of mediocrity.
Donnie and I are so excited to be putting on our second show in our apartment (gallery)! If you are in town please come out to our first solo exhibition of Nick Griffin and enjoy a cold beer with us! <3
