Beauty & The Beasties, an exhibition by Will Roger and Crimson Rose, is a celebration of a life committed to love, the arts, and healing the world.

RENO, Nev., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Will Roger and Crimson Rose, Burning Man Cultural Co-Founders, announce their exhibition, Beauty & The Beasties, at Sierra Arts Foundation's Riverside Gallery from April 1, 2022 thru April 29, 2022. Nearly 30 years in the making, this exhibition of select works from Will's series, Erotic Dance (1993-1996), Bouquets Ablaze (1997-present), and Labyrinth Walk (2015 - present), are paired with Crimson's evocative ecological assemblages series, Endlings, which mark the first time the artists and couple have exhibited their work together.

The Beauty, selected from Will's three series, is connected to his relationship with Crimson Rose. "This show for me is a love letter to Crimson," says Will. Erotic Dance is a series of black and white images of Crimson from their early years in Oakland 1993-1996. When they first started dating Crimson brought cut flowers to Will's studio. He began a daily practice of photographing them as a gift and homage to her which became Bouquets Ablaze. Will continues to photograph bouquets, some from florists but mostly from their yard and greenhouse in Gerlach. Labyrinth Walk is inspired by their move to the desert and their daily sunset walks at the Chartres Labyrinth on their property designed by Crimson, as well as a second labyrinth she designed at Fly Ranch. Often crediting her as his muse, Will says she is the "catalyst for both my personal and artistic transformation."

This show for me is a love letter to Crimson

Known as an endlings because with their death a species or subspecies become extinct, Crimson unveils and adorns the last of a species or subspecies, by drawing upon the beautiful and sublime to present imagined "beasties" that capture the evolution of endlings and our part in their demise. These assemblages are sculptural compositions consisting of various materials such as antique doll parts, kitchen utensils, organic matter, feathers, paint, metal, and other items. Each sculpture takes on its own personality and special characteristics which seem to gravitate into three different series: Endlings, Goddesses, and Creepy Baby Dolls. All with a sense of humor.

Beauty & The Beasties is a celebration of a life committed to love, the arts, and healing the world.
