this is yer brain on drugs

Finery, frippery, gee-gaws, gadgets and ephemera.
Quite a few things you've never seen in your life up to now.
Uncommon fanciful things.
Obscure objects of desire.

There is a critical mass of such stuff at our Red Hook store at the moment.

Behollllld:

Things from rural Pennsylvania farm country strewn about the front.

A rifle case. It probably had a .22 bolt action in it at one time. I made a rubberband assault rifle that fits perfectly inside.

Look. He's smiling.

All sorts o' stuff - jewelry, Pop Chart Lab posters, vintage shoes...

Ye Olde cardiac monitor.

A 52-year-old painted bamboo calendar. We have a selection of these with various artwork screened on them.

Decades old lighters. They all light on the first strike.

Jao in the house, sharing space with Patent medicine bottles from the 1800s

Kreepy Dolls. Always unique: Never the same doll twice.

Mmmmm, this death is cool and refreshing. It has the "Thinking man's filter and the Smoking man's taste"
No wait that's Viceroys, sorry.

Who doesn't like mugs? No one doesn't like mugs.

I got yer mudra right here, buddy!

Kegan Fisher's CUSP OF CONFLUX



CUSP OF CONFLUX
Kegan Fisher
paintings & drawings
June 25 - July 31

CUSP OF CONFLUX explores the moment before everything ends. It seeks to capture time as so incomparably quiet, so impossibly still, that we are unaware if movement persists.

Kegan Fisher's new collection of paintings and drawings is composed of works constructed around horizon lines, tight as skin stretched around sockets, full of memory and yesterday. Worlds are full of elemental structures that have long outlived their architects. Skies droop like wet cotton, with clouds hung up to dry.

Fisher's artwork encapsulates the point at which development has ceased, cities are empty, and we stand as voyeurs, witness to a silent future.
