Visually defined ruralism at its finest...

You've probably already read about J. Morgan Puett

on a few other blogs already, but I just could not

resist sharing these images here on the NVR.

Puett is a coneptual installation artist. As with the

work shown here, some of her projects recreate

vignettes that recollect her simple

southern heritage.

Her artfully arranged and studied spaces

seem plucked from some Appalachian shack

inhabited by someone with a flair for making

their simple, appreciated belongings shine.

Here is an old photo from a display at

her Wooster Street store in NYC.

Some of these images are also from Puett's Eastern
Pennsylvannia artists' colony, Mildred's Lane.

The 96-acre property has been described as an

experiment in romantic decay.
