Opening + Feature in Sun Sentinel

TV-PG, my new solo show, opens tonight 1310 Gallery after the VIP viewing last night. Read the Sun Sentinel review (upper right corner on the front page and 4A!). Here's an excerpt:
"instead of Bob Barker, there are body parts, human organs, sock puppets and medical accessories such as pills, a syringe and a bedpan. Morey explores the way people demonize and embrace modern medicine, as well as "the way we self-medicate — and not necessarily with pills or drugs, but with TV, food and sex."

Review in FL New Times

NewTimes' review of Humoratorium contains a shot of "Everything Must Go", one of three of new drawings featured in the show, and an explanation of "Master's Hands", which is also featured in the exhibition.
"... be warned: A few of the pieces are about as whimsical as tattered, blood-stained dolls in the attic of an abandoned mansion. Florida native Benjamin Morey has contributed a painting of two reptilian, Pepto Bismol-pink hands that look like they might be those of the clown from "It" after he's stripped off his white gloves."
