Having seen Brece Honeycutt’s works at Pocket Utopia and now in your gallery, I am struck anew at the power of photography to create out of artworks new works. The photographs themselves are beautiful works, albeit with a different aesthetic from the original. Gone is some of the texture of the spun yarn and the ‘natural’ feel of the works in their environment as though, like the spider webs that inspired them, they had grown there for a reason. Some of the photographs, however, highlight the compositions in the installation and, in doing so, create new, lyrical and evocative works. Thank you!
