My favorite wine bar in downtown Asheville is the one at 5 Walnut, so imagine my pleasure at being able to set up shop in their art gallery for two months. I am there as much as I can be, but even when I'm not, the gallery is open whenever the wine bar is open, which is daily from 2pm until late night.
I am exhibiting works from three different series - "Asheville - A Contemporary View" and "Urban View" as well as a series of the Biltmore Estate. I am selling prints, framed and unframed, as well as posters, so please stop by anytime to take a look. Since I don't have any new work hanging on the walls right now since I've been busy with other endeavors, I wanted to create a stop motion video to show at the gallery that would involve many of the local characters both in my life and the life of 5 Walnut. So, I've been shooting scenes of whoever shows up for the past week, leaving the "models" to their own improvisation, and boy have some of them come up with some original ideas! I have had so much fun photographing the locals but am having almost as much fun editing the hundreds of images, laughing out loud as I work by myself at my computer.
We are going to have a reception to show the gallery and the video on Thursday night, July 28th from 8:30 - 9:30, which is the night before Bele Chere begins so Walnut St. will be closed. I hope you can come.
