Reception for Thad Kellstadt and Jesse McLean: Trash and Other Camouflage October 5, 2007

With his sculpture and painting, Thad Kellstadt creates a sense of multidimensional disorder. The work in this exhibition reflects on the teenage spirit, displacement, enlightenment and modern rural mysticism. Jesse McLean's 'Rough Diamonds,' questions modern value systems by forcing unwanted material into the forms of five popular diamond cuts. In her 'Action Paintings,' she contrasts abstract expressionist ideals against the bravado of popular action films.
