Lo-Relief For The Arts, Part II

We’re pleased to post our creative director Jett Butler’s submittals for this year’s Five x Seven show at Arthouse. All three sold opening night, Friday May 15th, helping to raise funds for the arts within our fair state and providing a charitable impetus to a great evening of drinks, DJ’s, socializing, and exhibition. Jett’s entry this year (the “HLNG” trilogy) refines the technique explored in 2007 and 2008. Each year only 3 casts/etchings/carvings have been made—with no prototypes or molds—making these #7, #8, and #9 respectively. These diminutive pieces have only shown at Arthouse before moving into the buyer’s collections.
