Kelly Moran, Beg Borrow and Steal: Opening reception Saturday April 27, 2012 from 6 to 8 PM at d. m. allison on Colquitt

Kelly Moran's latest offering is a zany mixed bag of happy urban myth and late American culture POP to be sure, but at the same time so well executed that one wants to stop and think it all over. Moran takes advantage of an omnipotent time frame while jumping gender fences, and looking back at "the way we were" just far enough in the past to clue us into the fact that the human chemistry found in her works is universal. Moran excels at making the complex planning and process oriented work look inspired and of the moment. Her images are gleaned from the internet junk heap, vintage magazines and advertising, while working in woodcuts, lino-cuts, and some parts created with the latest digital technology and archival digital printing. There is plenty of Yin and Yang for everyone in the show.
