Tim sez, "Ruth Whiting show's 'Plug In' is a show oil paintings at the Wedge Gallery in Asheville, NC. Ruth Whiting's paintings create a luscious mythology surrounding the ordinary plugs and cables that connect our technological lives. Liberated from their mundane function and rendered in glowing colors, these every day objects assume an almost sacred quality."
(Thanks, Tim!)
