The title: How will I ever Be Simple Again, is the title of a Richard Thompson Song. Included in this group show are four artists working in mediums ranging from drawing to video. Upon entering the gallery, Jo Jackson’s “We have always lived in a castle” speaks for itself.

Projecting out from this vocal point are some small paintings by Jo followed by a stream of conscious mix of Christopher Garret drawings with Shaun O’dell and Bob Linder’s work parallel.

Garret’s work is a sort of narrative which leaves you simultaneously cringing at the absurdity of some pieces and awing over the simplistic beauty of others like this one below.

To the side of Jo’s wall piece are a group of small paintings. Jo’s work embodies an engaged simplicity. Her use of stencil-like style gets straight to the point, and even when she paints a wide open mouth on the wall (“We have always lived in a castle”) the visual may say “scream”, but an eery silence echo’s and falls to the floor to reveal shards of reality.
