Join Twilight Gallery for an exhibit by stencil artist Ed Roth featuring a special DIY craft table for guest to make their very own Stencil1 stencils!
About the exhibit:
Roth’s current work explores themes of cloning, duality, cognitive thought, and alteration. Long fascinated and horrified with the story of “Dolly” the first cloned sheep, Ed Roth’s work represents this idea of a “new” creation copied from the original. Cloning, copying, duplicating, reusing and mimicking, recycling and appropriating. From the use of old vintage tarps and left over paint, from icon to icon, old materials and new, long outdated rules of conformity and well worn clichés, to yet another set of blindly followed societal rules…..this work uses images of the cloned sheep to mirror the ways in which we follow.
Is there any more original?
Or simply, on a utilitarian level is the clone – the stencil – a necessity?
