The point is not to stay marginal, but to participate in whatever network of marginal zones is spawned from other disciplinary centers and which, together, constitute a multiple displacement of those authorities. - Judith Butler

“Journeys”, latest collection from New Orleans artist Cody Riess, in solo show opening November 1st, 2012 at J Costello Gallery, Hilton Head, SC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HILTON HEAD, SC, November 1, 2012 Cody Riess’ newest collection, Journeys, brings the world as seen through the artist eyes to J Costello Gallery, Hilton Head, SC. The solo show opens November 1.
Journeys Collection
Journeys, a series of twelve paintings, was inspired by images from her travels through Europe years living in New Orleans. Essentially the pieces merge the poetry of various places with the beauty of their landscapes. Her work brings layers of a location into each piece almost allowing you to experience it as though you were there.
The paintings in the Journeys collection retain the humor, wisdom and cultural exploration that have become characteristic of her style. Each piece tells a story that engages the audience with its telling. The dynamic strokes of rich color are second nature to the artist and her art. This expressive nature relays an image of a world that is constantly changing but still the same somehow. Visitors will see images in the landscapes that bring memories of their travel back to them more clearly.
