Wreckage
New Work by Davin & Michael Knight
June 7 - 30, 2007
First Thursday Opening Reception: June 7, 5-8 PM
Hours: Friday & Saturday 12-5 PM
Or by appointment: info@shiftstudio.org
Shift Collaborative Studio is pleased to present Wreckage,
an exhibition of new works by brothers Davin & Michael Knight.
Comprised of related sets of paintings, drawings, and
prints, Wreckage is a collaborative investigation of their shared family
history. Each piece is based on the form of a hand-made toy car, an iconic
symbol of their childhood. The overall narrative recounts a tragic car
wreck in the early 1950's and follows the generational effects of such
technology-related accidents.
Davin has a background in photography, digital imaging,
and graphic design, and holds a BA in Photography from Western Washington
University. Michael has a background in painting, drawing, and sculpture,
and holds a BA in Painting from Western Washington University. They both
currently reside in
Bellingham, WA.
