In last weeks Westword, Mark Dragotta wrote, "What is it about Trevor Appleson's new exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver that reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's prose? Is it the intense quiet, the obsessive detail or the undercurrent of violence? Honestly, it's probably a little bit of each. Edging out all background distraction with a large black screen, the images highlight the still-life poverty, dirt and death in his otherwise commonplace subjects."
I couldn't have said it better, comparing these images to Cormac McCarthy's writing seems very appropriate. Looks like I'll need to get over to the Denver MCA to see this.
