WAX+VINE “HAUNTED”

EXTENDED! May 23rd – July 23rd!

WAX+VINE (pronounced Waxenvine) is the collective vision of husband and wife team Scott Irvine and Kim Meinelt from New York City. Their photographic work centers around themes of light, shadow, texture and beauty – of both the mundane and unusual.

HAUNTED is a collection of twenty-four new works that were created exclusively for this exhibition. Each image is a blend of Scott and Kim’s photography. The resulting effect is a haunting dreamscape that transcends the singular images, uniting two individual visions into one.

Christopher Rauschenberg

“Studio Photography”

Christopher Rauschenberg grew up having three artist parents, He has been a photographer since 1957 or 1973, depending on how you count, and he has been a curator since 1975. Consequently, he is happy to find himself in artists’ studios often. He is primarily there to look at their art but loves to savor the delightful conjunctions of objects and images in those studios – 2 and 3 dimensional collages that both create and result from the powerful artistic charge that is the lifeblood of an artist’s studio.
