Traditional children's imagery can have a darker and stranger side. Riley's
Messed-Up Beatrix Potter pages distort what we remember from this classic.
He pain-stakingly adds to Tom Kitten and Jeremiah Puddle Duck by drawing
with black ball-point pen, on various pages, never planning the end result.
These drawings are produced in one sitting, and are inserted into a "found"
frame. The show is rounded out with alterations of other images from books,
primarily of portraiture and pin-up girls. This is Riley's second solo
outing with Aron Packer Gallery.
