Social Distortion
Oct. 27 - Dec. 17, 2005

“Social Distortions” features the figurative works of Damon Maxwell, Molly MacGregor, and Jeremy Mayer. Each artist explores the roles, interplay, and effects of the self and society upon one another, and challenges the viewer to experience and question his/ her own system of values and sense of self.

Damon Maxwell's mixed media paintings, from his series “Beyond Code,” deals with sensitive thematic issues such as self-perception, religion, and sexuality.

Molly MacGregor's silhouette series is intended to demonstrate how reflections of human nature can warp, much like a shadow, to fit an ever evolving socio-political landscape.

Jeremy Mayer's typewriter sculptures and charcoal self-portraits flow out of Mayer’s interest in how we can alter ourselves. “You can change your hair color, you can get plastic surgery. How far is that going to go with new technologies?” Mayer asks.
