Happy to be included in this exhibition at Prøve Gallery in Duluth devoted to art that addresses the idea of PLAY. The show opens tomorrow night (Friday, September 14) with storytelling and local beers by Lake Superior Brewing. I won’t be able to make the party but I did enjoy checking out the space when I delivered my pictures last week.

Prøve Collective Gallery – Duluth, MN

My pictures address the idea of play in various ways. Several express the freedom, wonder and lust for life that are the soul of childhood.

Running with Bubbles

Rainmaker / Sweet

Others take a playful approach to familiar objects of play including iconic games and toys.

Chinese Checkers / Slinky / Beach Ball

The final image captures the hyper-playground of the carnival midway, super-saturated and a bit surreal.
