Art Exhibit Lost Edges Finds Beauty in the Ruins
McKINNEY, TEXAS - April 20, 2010 -
Beauty and decay seldom go hand in hand, yet the photography of Guy R. Giersch and Don Simmons compels viewers to grasp the imagery of twisted beauty found in the decay of the built environment. Their images engage one to reflect on what has been and what is yet to come. Viewers gain insight into the past that is lost yet is somehow becoming more beautiful as the ravages of time bring it to its ruin.

The exhibit, Lost Edges, presented by Laura Moore Fine Art Studios showcases the photography of two notable McKinney based artists, Giersch and Simmons, who impart a distinct visualization of the decaying landscape, documenting a lost sense of time and place. With their cameras, Giersch and Simmons produce experiences that temper what one sees, allowing the observer to experience a visual language rich in beauty and imagination born in images of a landscape in decline.

Laura Moore Fine Art Studios embraces the vivaciousness of Second Saturday celebrations in downtown McKinney where art galleries and other downtown businesses extend their normal business hours into the evening to celebrate the arts and community with live entertainment, spirits, and food. Discover Lost Edges and meet the artists on opening night, Saturday, May 8th from 7-10pm. Through June 9th at Laura Moore Fine Art Studios, 107 S Tennessee in McKinney, Texas. Hours: Mon-Sat 1-5pm or by appointment. Free admission. 214.914.3630. www.lauramooreart.com.
