Distractions and Reminders
photos by Jessi Gilbert
This show features mixed media on paper and panels by illustration graduate Benjamin C. Stanley. Many of the subjects are intimate (in size and tone) and at times somber. His illustration-style has a vintage feel, especially with the watercolor and textured paper.
These squares (each $45) each seem like taste of travel. There are close ups of maps and words like "Lost" and "Far from home." Pieced together, this grid of blue and white seem like a documentation of travels.
The image on the right is layered on top of a book cover, creating a unique aged quality. Some figures are realistic and others are distorted and uncomfortable. While it seems obvious from the name of the show, they all look distracted. It draws you to wonder what the subjects are thinking.
