TOMORROW - The work of Fauna/Banks will open at Staple Goods in New Orleans!
This is a show of collaborative work by Benry Fauna and Imogen Banks. A dialogue between the practices of two friends, an exchange of processes, and an exercise in imagining their work in new contexts. Arriving from different approaches of duplication and manipulation, both Banks' and Fauna's processes lend to each other, creating surreal, stimulating new works.
Imogen Banks is a fiber artist and painter who is interested in the creation of an abstract and subtle visual language through her work.
She uses cotton rope to make 3 dimensional vessels, as well as weaving techniques within her paintings. Staple Goods Collective member since 2021, she lives in New Orleans, LA. She graduated from the University of Oregon in 2014 with a BFA in Painting. Solo exhibitions include - Ditch Projects in Springfield, Oregon in 2015, Artsdigital in Eugene, OR in 2016, and Staple Goods in New Orleans, LA in 2022.
Benry Fauna is a portrait photographer who uses mixed media and digital collage to explore how we engage with the physical image. Using linens and satins to achieve an atmospheric viewing experience.
He then implements resin to manipulate textures and reshape prints, as a pragmatic way to explore forms of expression. Living in New Orleans by way of Pittsburgh, Fauna graduated from Edinboro University in 2013 with a BFA in Photography and Art History. Held a solo exhibition Overture in New Orleans in 2023, and a forthcoming solo exhibition in September in Jonesboro, AK.
