In which we all kiss something secretly

The third collaboration with the poet Denver Butson.

Shown at Court Tree Collective Gallery in Brooklyn NY Feb 9, 2019

Like the previous two projects, “in which we all kiss something secretly" marries the two artists’ work in somewhat random and indirect ways. Maria’s photo boxes combine snapshots she takes on her way to work or walks through the city with handmade wooden boxes and a small LED lights to create glowing, quiet, meditative moments of singularity in our increasingly sense-scattered world. Almost like a peered-into Viewmaster or a photo booth of times past, the photo boxes take these isolated moments and hold them still. Butson’s words, all taken from a series of poems using the repeated opening “in which,” accompany each photo box and add a discursive, dream-like narrative or context to what seems like random, unrelated images.
