scatter-bright projects

scatter-bright projects aims to be like the birds outside the window.

"...the birds went cracking off the feeder again. They passed out of the shade beneath the eaves and flew into sunglare and silence and it was an action she only partly saw, elusive and mutely beautiful, the birds so sunstruck they were consumed by light, disembodied, turned into something sheer and fleet and scatter-bright."*

 

Current projects include a new salon series Oxford Occasional, and a roaming exhibition series to begin in Summer/Fall 2008. Past projects include exhibitions such as CONSUME and re:place.
