Erica Allen Photo at Melanie Flood Projects

Last month, we interviewed local curator Melanie Flood.  Here's info on the latest photography show in her home: Exhibition Dates: November 8 -- December 2, 2009 Reception: Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 6-9pm

Melanie Flood Projects is pleased to present "Untitled Gentlemen", a solo exhibit of photographs by Erica Allen.

A series of fictional photographic portraits exploring representations and constructions of identity. Created with faces from contemporary barbershop hairstyle posters and figures from found studio photographs, this work gives new value and meaning to otherwise discarded and primarily functional photographs.
