"Honey Bunches" is all about things that are small and nearby, taken to a certain kind of humble extreme. It’s about plurality, but no seriality or repetition here... nothing so organized! Instead, we revel in bundles and collections, accumulations and amalgamations, heaps and piles, all gathered up for your viewing pleasure. And Pop plays a role – pop culture, mom and pop, Pop Goes the Weasel? – but in each case, with an intentionally handmade, anti-Factory touch.

"Honey Bunches" includes work by:

Aaron Brewer, a California-based bundle-meister, whose densely compacted, installation-based work combines personal and cultural history;

Robin Dash, who lives and works in Boston, and makes colorful canvases so layered with paint and found photographs and life experiences that they become a kind of found object in themselves;

Larry Semler, an Oregon-based photographer and retired optometrist who trains a disposable camera on the myriad, complex things people around him do for a living, from department store Santas to file clerks in insurance companies, familiar and strange;

Nancy Shaver, a New York-based artist who constructs wall sculptures, using quiet, ordinary little materials like cardboard and brightly colored house paint, at once elevating her objects, and helping keep us down to earth; and

Maura Vazakas, an artist working in San Diego who makes paintings that reflect, and reflect on, the everyday complicatedness of existence. Using 1960s Archie comics as a collage element under her paint, and incorporating words, silhouettes, cartoons and doodles from many sources into her intense little paintings, Vazakas gathers meaningful images to tell her story, to recall the past and to ponder the present, trying, like we all do, to put a lot of different things together and make some sense of it all.
