On exhibit through tomorrow — Saturday — evening at 17 Frost is Royce Bannon‘s Living the After Life. Fashioned on a range of found surfaces — some collaboratively — all of the images intrigue. Curious as to what is going on, I posed some questions to Royce.
What does this all mean? What is going on here?
These works represent my ideal vision of the afterlife — doing the things that I enjoy doing — when I am living as a ghost. It is a celebration of life after death.
What, do you suppose, was the impetus behind this theme? Why the focus on life after death?
My mother recently died. For quite awhile I’d been preparing myself for her death and thinking about the afterlife. Death is not the end.
How have folks responded to this body of work?
The response has been positive. There’s been considerable interest in the works.
How can folks to be sure see the exhibit before it closes?
Everyone is invited to the closing party to be held tomorrow evening — Saturday, March 21 — at 17 Frost Street from 7-11pm.
Note: Tomorrow evening’s closing party will feature a new collabo with EKG and a live drum machine performance by Jefferson Wells.
