Hous ProjectsUSTara BogartUn Capillaire Modern Etude 6 Nov 2013 – 4 Jan 2014In an era where most images have been fashioned to fit an ideal of airbrushed, spray tanned, artfully coiffed perfection, the almost effortless authenticity of the cameo-like photographs in Tara Bogart’s ‘Un Capillaire Modern Etude’ is refreshingly unpretentious. Bogart visibly agrees with early 20th century American photographer Edward Weston, who valued “the stark beauty that a lens can so exactly render presented without interference of artistic effect.” This dir… more Hous ProjectsUSScott B.

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness. (John Ruskin)Edward Abbey once wrote “You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.” The photography of Scott B. Davis is charged with the same notion. Originally from Maryland, Davis emulated the westward journey of Charles Fletcher Lummis and was bewitched by the spirit… more Hous ProjectsUSTara BogartA Modern Hair Study 18 Jul – 29 Dec 2012In an era where most images have been fashioned to fit an ideal of airbrushed, spray tanned, artfully coiffed perfection, the almost effortless authenticity of the cameo-like photographs in Tara Bogart’s A Modern Hair Study is refreshingly unpretentious.

Andre Malraux, Les Noyers de l'Altenburg (1948)Ortega y Gasset, 1914, suggested that we must always define human existence as a combination of the individual person and the concrete circumstances of his life: "Yo soy yo y m… more Hous ProjectsUSHaley Jane SamuelsonAn Indecisive Moment 8 Mar – 16 Jun 2012Haley Jane Samuelson | An Indecisive MomentMarch 8, 2012 – May 8, 2012In her new body of work, Haley Jane Samuelson distinctly shifts from her introspective self-portraits in the interior to portraits of others in sweeping, lush outdoor settings. Scenes are overflowing with magic hour light, rushes of texture and saturated, jewel tone color that take her photographs to a level so rich that the desire is to speak of them on painterly terms. Taking this step into nature's beauty and awa… more Hous ProjectsUSAlison BradySincerely yours 8 Sep – 22 Oct 2011Alison Brady photographs with an eye towards capturing our unconscious emotions, desires and sexual compulsions. Subjects are harvested then placed in meticulously curated settings and costumes that ping pong between the real and the fantastic. Morbid fascination of contrasts as polar as the sacred and profane populate her work and grip you. An underlying tension of madness and alienation seeps out from the edges of the compositions. Brady hones in on expressions of neurosis, anxiety, displaceme… more Hous ProjectsUSHaley Jane Samuelsonanother room 25 Jun – 3 Oct 2009Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves. - Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963 In Haley Jane Samuelson's series Another Room, the dualities and conflicts between youth and adulthood are dissected. A visible and palatable struggle is seen as phantoms of the past, present, and future are confronted. There is deep exploration into her personal relationships and her attraction to defining herself through others as well. Samuelson is … more Hous ProjectsUSMarian Drewevery living thing 18 Apr – 1 Jun 2009No one ever told me grief felt so much like fear. - C.S. Lewis Renaissance still-life painting featured opulent tables of fruit and fauna taken from the land for human pleasure and consumption, but beneath the sensual images was an allegory that Marian Drew assimilates to contemporary society. Rather than bucolic examples of a landowner's fortunes or flexed exertions of man's control over the natural world, Drew's tables are dressed to implicate the disregard humanity has for the wild animal an… more Hous ProjectsUSScott B. Davisland of sunshine 26 Jun – 6 Sep 2008"I wanted to get out and walk southward toward the park through the soft twilight, but each time I tried to go I became entangled in some wild, strident argument which pulled me back, as if with ropes, into my chair. Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was he too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible varie… more Hous ProjectsUSGerald FörsterNocturnal 17 Apr – 14 Jun 2008Gerald Förster - Nocturnal A limited edition book of 360 copies signed and numbered by the artist is issued with one of three original 8x10 inch prints,each limited to an edition of 120 Walt Whitman, -A Woman Waits for Me Women need a reason to have sex.
