One week from tonight, come out to the opening of the Meme gallery in Denton. Rubber Gloves has had some great nights incorporating the artist scene in Denton with its other two loves: drinking and music. And sexing, can’t forget sexing. So three loves, actually. Well, four loves if you include art. I suppose it’s easier to say that Denton has a fair amount of loves, and all those loves will be satiated at this here event. We’ll be out to capture the shindig, so come out and get noticed! The music’s gonna be at Rubber Gloves, but the Meme Gallery space is separate (where Strawberry Fields used to be, don’t even pretend you never stopped by thumb through those housewife porn comics or to pick up a mushroom-growing kit). For those of you in Dallas or Ft. Worth or anywhere in between, this is a reason to come to the tippy-toppy of the Golden Triangle, a much-needed reason that doesn’t involve cheap women or even cheaper booze. Don’t even lie, you know it’s true. The bands playing are on the bill are on the handbill, I trust you folks are well-seasoned enough to recognize line-ups.
EDIT: I creeped my way around facebook to get you guys a taste of Leti Gomez’s art. If you can get me better images, I would be grateful.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her work in UNT gallery situations, but maybe it’s just the collaborative nature of the Denton printmaking crew. However, they’re all highly talented folks, and motivated as hell, so it’s a nice thing to support.

From the initial passing idea, until the final edition is pulled, I cannot help but get tied to my work physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is no longer simply an image, made in multiples, but instead a statement of purpose and self at a particular point in my life. Imagery that involves animals, insects, and domestic objects is what I use to explore my personal experiences, as well as to communicate larger, and more universal messages. I aim to use my work to explore the relationships between those objects that become collected, and those who collect them, as well as the idea of the persona as a composite of family circumstances, and experiences. Most of all, I hope to make work that is visually appealing, but causes the viewer to question the intent of the symbolism, as well as what it means to them, personally.

Puking to me is an art form. The level of disgust, the gut wrenching smell and who can forget the sense of accomplishment . Its a powerful thing to be able to tell your own body ” My mouth isn’t a one way street I can put food in you and I and can make it come out, you don’t own me body!” and who can forget one crucial fact about puking, its totally badass!
