Branch Gallery is pleased to present Point of Entry | References to Contemporary Culture. Two artists draw inspiration from life's textures, messiness, and beauty.
- Aubrey Longley-Cook received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. The Los Angeles based artist combines the practice of animation and embroidery. Inspired by GIF culture, the queer community, and work that integrates domestic practices with social media, his meticulously executed embroidery is story specific.
- Joe Lewis often focuses on digital manipulation of images. Serving as dean of UC Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts from 2010 until 2014, Lewis continued his work as a non-media specific , often project based artist during his term. He's currently a professor in the UC Irvine Art Department.
