I will be exhibiting a few drawings this summer at Jeffrey Boone Gallery alongside the work of Anna Plesset and Biliana Velkova. The theme of this exhibit, titled ReDrawn, is the artists' use of drawing as a form of appropriation. It is part of the citywide drawing festival, DRAWN. The works I will be showing are a number of reworked drawings by one Emily Franey. The original drawings are dated from the mid-1800's but there has been some doubt as to their authenticity. They don't feel that old, only one of the dozen or so of her drawings that I acquired is significantly yellowed and there is an odd consistency to the quality of the lines which has led to discussions with a few people about the possibility that they are tracings. A minor mystery of no consequence. The original drawings, regardless of their origin, are lackluster.
Show is on from July 16 - August 15th. The opening is Friday, July 24, 6-9.
