Early morning cheers were in order when Beth Dow came back to chat with us on Saturday morning after her successful opening on Thursday. Friends, collectors and art enthusiasts came to hear Jen and Beth talk about her current show "Ruins". For those of you that missed out (or couldn't fathom getting out of bed by noon) We were able to video a few parts to let you in on what goes on in the very wonderful mind of Beth Dow. Check it out below as Jen and Beth get started talking about the nostalgic qualities of her work.

Jen and Beth continued the conversation by discussing the stumble upon nature of her work using "Coaster" as an example and how Beth came to discover these interesting landscapes

The "surprise sleeper hit" Jen is refering to at the end of this clip is is the work "Aqueduct", seen below and also on Beth's artist page

If you have not visited the gallery yet to see the show you really need to see this work in person. As Beth herself says, "[photographs] should be tactile three dimensional objects" which is definitely true of her work and the presence it commands.
