BLOOM- Ruth Whiting and Tim Elverston's art show

My sister is putting on an exhibition with her boyfriend in Gainesville Florida. It should be pretty interesting so pleas check it out if you have a chance.

Bloom

Handmade Seeds in a Technological Age.

Bloom is a show about passion. It's a show about a choice to make our own reality. It's a study in the density of hand-made technology and the miracle of cumulative intuition. No matter what we ask of our materials, they always have an answer.  This work is about learning to listen—as indeed, appreciation of subtlety is often a matter of survival.

Ruth Whiting and Tim Elverston foster a handmade future in a world where products arrive in sealed packages and advertising tells us how to dream. Bloom is a glimpse into a reality that is painstakingly fashioned from the raw fruits of our technological age. Tim Elverston is a designer and kinetic sculptor who makes kites, lamps, mobiles, and clothing. All his work is tuned with exquisite function from the most appropriate materials. Ruth Whiting paints sumptuous and imagined worlds where electric cables come to life within a thriving ecology of their own.

Opening February 26th during art walk at Randy Batista Gallery in downtown Gainesville next  to the Hippodrome.
