Jefferson Hayman - Join us for Last Thursday - Tonight 6-10PM

Jefferson Hayman
Photographs

June 24th thru July 21st, 2009

Join us tonight for Last Thursday, June 25th, from 6 to 10PM.

Our July show features works by New York photographer, Jefferson Hayman. Working with themes of nostalgia, common symbols & memory, Hayman makes photographic images that seem historically timeless. His nude figures, silent typewriters, lonely suitcases & forgotten skulls are captured with a delicacy of tonality that brings to mind the highest traditions of graphic art.

Join us tomorrow, June 24th, for an Opening Party from 6 to 10PM. As always, there will be plenty of free wine & beer, lively conversation & music. Can't make it Wednesday? We'll also be open late on Last Thursday.

More images & information on our website.

Check out two interviews with Jefferson Hayman at Accidental Mysteries & The Martin Cooper Blog.
