For one week only, he had the opportunity to photograph surreal specimens of humanity � conjoined twins. Preserved in formaldehyde and kept in the collection of the Congdon Anatomical Museum, Porter carefully shot his subjects through their glass cocoons, eliminating all traces of location, time and place.

| | | Sean Talley
Jancar Jones Gallery, San Francisco, CA USA United States of America The Jancar Jones Gallery is pleased to announce its second solo exhibit of the work of San Francisco-based artist, Sean Talley. The exhibit will consist of a number of works on paper, as well as three-dimensional works in plaster and Masonite. Building on concepts from his previous exhibit, in which the subject was presented as the object rather than a representation of itself, his new body of work thus brings materiality to the fore, focusing his efforts on the surface and presence of each piece. Using common materials, such as graphite and plaster, he creates simple hard-edged forms, using slight gestures to 'let the materials present themselves.' - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Using the simplest of media, Wegman's work reaches out to an audience ranging from the littlest toddler to the oldest contemporary art specialist. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
