"I still prefer the cake....."

I was back at Lennox Contemporary on Friday, to see the Flash forward show before it comes down on the 25th.....my friend and I were the only ones in the gallery, which gave us the opportunity to really look at the work....as I said before the opening was packed...There are some very talented aritsts in this show, but why have the majority of  artists/photographers decided to mount their works on foamcore??? is it a cost issue???...as can be seen it is a very unstable mount, one drop or bang and there goes a corner!

The Joshua Jensen-Nagle interior is beautiful....but it is the artist featured in the promotional material for the show,  American photographer Amy Stevens that in my mind sticks out. Visiting her website, she is working on series based around confections. The photo in the show is of an artistically iced yellow cake on a yellow decorative backdrop; a wonderful interplay of patterns and textures create a push and pull between the foreground and background.

On our way out of the exhibition, my friend was beside me at the top of the stairs....we both looked to our right, to the spot where Ms. Stevens work is installed......after a pregnant pause my friend exclaimed......"I still prefer the cake............."
