­­C2 Creative Presents: HOUS(e)TON
Images from the shadows of our homes.
Please join the C2 Creative community  in opening their newest show at Caroline Collective Friday, October 2nd from 7pm to 9pm. The show features work from local Houston photographers Shannon Duncan and Ben Desoto.  From the press release:
The works collected here from the talented Houston Artists Ben Desoto and Shannon Duncan speak about home, house, and Houston – home to us all. Each artist has chosen to explore the shadowy axioms of house, home and Houston. That’s not to say in a derogatory manner, but to say from the inverse.  Each of their subjects is shown without house, or home. Their work shows us the oft-overlooked side of our fair city. Shannon’s works painstakingly reveals the beauty in the everyday mundane detritus of urban life while Ben’s work forces us to confront the very human realties of homelessness. Each set however has an optimism that far outstrips the meager realities of the objects or people shown. Together each artist elevates the inverse, the shadows of our homes, houses and Houstonians to a place of touching poignancy. And together each photographer reminds us that every great image, and maybe every great story, starts with a negative.
C2 creative and Ned Dodington, curator, makes this show possible, with the assistance of Shannon Duncan.  For more information about C2 Creative, visit www.c2creative.cc For more information about the artists contact Shannon at sladunca@gmail.com and Ben at zendfoto@hotmail.com
