Adam Weekley: Drift
January 31st – March 15th, 2014
Opening: January 31st, 2014 6pm-9pm
Originally conceived loosely as a children’s book, the work in Drift is Weekley’s most explicitly narrative work to date. Issues of disconnect and ambiguity, both physical and emotional, are central to the story Drift tells. In building the world represented by the illustrations, a manufactured history and logic asserted itself – a jumble of memory and imagery inspired by the songs and visual legacy of country singer Dolly Parton.
