I Seem to Have Forgotten Something, the Recipe by Wyatt Mills

ART TODAY 10.17.17 “The Pink Show” presents – Bradford J. Salamon (read critique by art critic Roberta Carasso, Ph.D)

“I will paint people forever, as they are always important to me. But my fascination with inanimate objects and the stories they tell bring me back to a different time when it makes me move into the mindset of a designer or inventor who thought with 1920 references. Old glass bottles, iconography, out-of-date sewing machines, their shapes and how they work stimulate me to see the world with fresh perceptions.”
