THE BEST // Meet the Artists, RECEPTION APR 6, 6-9PM

Derek Rankins, MFA candidate at UNT featured in Red Arrow Contemporary.

A BAG OF PEANUTS is the elevation of something simple into something complex. By photographing the peanut and then re-presenting it as an image, I am creating a conversation between the individual peanut, multiple peanuts, and the entire bag. The intent is to create value where there may appear to be none. By piecing the bag of peanuts apart and then piecing it back together as images on a sterile white background, I am presenting a contemplative experience between the images of the peanuts and the viewer. The root of the work lies in the Part and Whole approach to my subjects. With a bag of peanuts there exists a part and a whole contained within one individual package. This allows for similarity and difference to exist simultaneously. So many times photography has allowed for a vast landscape to be reduced into a small photograph. Similar but in reverse, I am attempting to take something common and present it as profound.
