Skid Severson
Metal Machine Music
May 3 to May 24, 2008

Currently on exhibit in the studio, is a brilliant series of twenty black and white digital photographs by Tucson artist, Skid Severson.

Severson is a self-taught photographer with a maverick perspective. Best known for his automotive series, he brings a rare perspective to the over-photographed and mythologized subject of American car culture; his own vision.

Avoiding the clichés which befall the majority of hot-rodding imagery, Skid deftly sidesteps the cultural minefields of postmodernist over-analysis and self-conscious retro fashion. Severson's photographs emphasize his enthusiastic and personal relationship with the world of gear heads.

An Arizona based photographer and musician, Skid Severson exhibits work in the Tucson area and gigs regularly in the many of the city's nightspots. His work has been published in No Depression, Tape Op and he is a frequent contributor to the Tucson Weekly.

Severson is a former member of the defunct and much-missed musical ensemble, Rodeo Queen.
