PRETTY PRETTY

David Wiley & Stephani Martinez

For Pretty Pretty, David Wiley and Stephani Martinez will be combining their two worlds into an overwhelming environment of obsessive nostalgia.

David Wiley has amassed a visceral collection of pop culture ephemera, posters, magazines cut outs, toys, and action figures of heroes and heroines which form a nostalgic cliché of the American Male. These influences of intense imagery, idolatry and false hopes are reformed through a cathartic processing of David's loss of innocence, Christian upbringing, and his relationship with his father.

Stephani Martinez’ work inhabits the realm of the so-called feminine; crochet, embroidery, buttons, and other domestic found objects; developed into beautiful organic forms. While commenting on the repetitive and tireless work that went into the making of these original crafts, her work exhibits an intense focus on color and it's effect on the form.

David and Stephani have been a couple for 20 years and will be exhibiting their work together for the first time.
