DAVE LOVEJOY "Archaos": His first show at Lois Lambert Gallery. Assemblage boxes and various repurposed mixed media objects emerge from the unseen beckoning the viewer to look below the surface.  Recycled picture frames, old projectors, old cameras, misc. medical objects, and arcane hardware are part of the lost and neglected items that are recombined into three-dimensional objects.  Lovejoy's objects are tiny worlds that connect the viewer with forgotten technologies and discarded objects.
