Stephanie Rigsby - Photography
Jeff Ritter - Industrial Furniture Design & Sculpture
Opening Party June 14th, 6 to 9pm
Show runs June 9th though July 19th 2014
Two multi-faceted local artists living and working in the San Francisco bay area. Their work embodies the daily life and remains of the industrial era. In rediscovering and redesigning the beauty of our surroundings they reclaim our past and what we know, and what we love about Northern California.

Occasionally, the ephemeral, presents itself as visible. Surreal couplings of shapes, saturated layers of color, illuminated light and its refraction- all exist beyond a simple surface of what we register. Often, such aspects pass undetected. Transformations in lines or shadows may flicker into view for mere minutes. It is within these precise moments, Rigsby, endeavors to capture the life of her subjects. To capture these subjects in an organic state, her photography is not modified. This allows the images to reveal a duplicitous nature of their own accord. Perception has a natural tendency to rationalize that which contradicts a usual bias. By presenting unaffected subjects in their natural state, viewers may discern themselves, if the surreal has potential to coexist with reality. Primary themes in her work include architecture, industrial landscapes, performance art, haunted locations, and curiosa. More of her work can be viewed from her artblog: colorchrome.blogspot
Jeff Ritter - Alchemist, Mad man & Industrial furniture designer
Jeff Ritter a self taught artist living in Oakland Ca. Ritter uses reclaimed steel along with different mediums creating functional industrial furniture, and sculpture. His work is available for special order.
