Davis Orton Gallery presents Nadine Boughton and Fran Forman June 29 through July 29.
With a background in psychology, Nadine Boughton is always interested in what lies beneath appearances. In “True Adventures in Better Homes” two worlds of the 1950’s and 1960’s – men’s adventure magazines or “sweats” and Better Homes and Gardens – collide. Set against the backdrop of the McCarthy era, advertising, sexual repression, WWII and the Korean War, Boughton’s photocollages are filled with the tension of opposites: inner and outer spaces, wildness and domesticity, the sweat and the cool. Rich in detail and suggestion, both funny and shocking, they become perfect metaphors for the contradictions of those times.
