Cambridge Photographer to Exhibit in Connecticut

Danbury, CT – Trailer Box Project will welcome the community to an opening reception at 5:00pm on Saturday, September 10th. The new show, “Gobbet,” will feature two separate exhibits, and showcase the works of three local and regional artists.

Cambridge, Massachusetts photographer Vanessa R. Thompson will exhibit her series of abstracted images of raw meat within the Trailer Box Project Space. Inviting the viewer to thrill over the deep, organic energy of the natural world, Thompson uses meat from her local butcher to disconnect her audience between the obvious and the suspect. Thompson received an MFA at the Art Institute of Boston and has exhibited throughout New England.

Artist Jim Felice and photographer Mark Savoia will exhibit their works in the new TrailerBox Studio Gallery, an onsite exhibition space that was unveiled to the public in the spring of 2016.

Sculptor Jim Felice will display his new sentinel-like wood sculptures that blur the line between the organic and industrial world. Utilizing found wood and fire, Felice’s works evoke both the serenity of tree-lined forests and the soaring heights of skyscrapers. Felice has exhibited throughout Connecticut and New York, and is the recipient of numerous awards, including the “Award of Excellence in Sculpture” from the Northern Westchester Center for the Arts. He currently resides in Ridgefield and maintains a studio in Danbury, CT.

Danbury, Connecticut photographer Mark Savoia’s warm images of plywood sheathed buildings call to mind the continuing housing crisis in America’s low income areas. Using his camera’s selective view to find the irony in everyday situations, Savoia is drawn to visually perplexing images, His compelling photographs document the curiosities of his travels through the United States. Savoia is the co-owner and vice-president of Connecticut Photographics and Still River Editions in Danbury, CT, and winner of the 2010 artist fellowship from the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism.

Trailer Box Project, a project space and gallery in Danbury, Connecticut is dedicated to assisting groundbreaking artists in sharing their concepts with the public.
