Lisa Congdon sent over a sneak peek of work that will be on display in her show Love Me Not: A Valentines Show.
In Love Me Not, I explore both the traditional decor and subject matterof Valentines from the Victorian Era (now nearly obsolete), along withcommon Valentines sentiments and proclamations. In some cases I havetaken the gaudy decoration and purposefully toned it down to be moreaustere to play with the viewers sensibilities. The pieces are intendedto be interpreted by each viewer however he likes depending on hislevel of cynicism. The show features 12 shadowboxes, drawings andgouache paintings.
The saying "Forever More", never seemed so beautiful and bittersweet to me. Love Me Not opens on Thursday at The Bell Jar in San Francisco.
