Opening reception: Saturday, March 11, 5-8pm

Victoria Reynolds uses meat as a primary decorative motif, playfully applying it’s visceral qualities to the surface of the painting and the surrounding frame. There is an uneasy tension between the understanding of flesh as food, and our self-identification of it; her conflation of desire, mortality, viscerality, and the survival instinct is a powerful source of aesthetic fascination.
