Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-10-03 19:15:17
Ten years ago. MFA printmaker Tom Voorhees found in a trashcan a photo of a heavy-set older woman drinking a beer. He dubbed her the "beer lady," and she has been his muse ever since. Voorhees' digitally printed photomontages include the beer lady and imagery appropriated from art history film stills and advertising. Sunday school illustrations and magazines from the 1950s and 1960s. His work plays on tensions existing in American life for example between the marginalied and the affluent and religion and consumer grow. His wacky combinations of imagery are laugh-out-loud funny.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
