And These Natural Things
Works by Melissa Martinez
California Museum of Photography
April 26 - July 5, 2008
Opening Reception | Saturday, April 26, 2008, 7pm - 9pm |
And These Natural Things marks the first Southern California solo exhibition for Melissa Martinez who has risen to prominence in the art scene. Her works illustrate the desert's natural resources within familiar urban landscapes. A native of Chicago, Martinez's work confronts and narrates her outlook at nature's intrusion on her current surroundings of Arizona. The exhibition will include an isolated projection with orchestrated sound and sculptural video displays, each documenting nature's volatile state of eeriness, celebration, disembodiment and melancholy.
