Ron Pippin is an artist who has created all sorts of magical artifacts that have an implied narrative. All of his pieces tell a story that is at once familiar and yet un-tellable because it seems to float just beneath the surface of our consciousness. The great thing about Pippin's work is that it at first appears to be a collection of historical documents and artifacts from a time and place that we know but can't quite remember as if this place were imprinted upon our brain before we were born, a place that seems at once familiar and yet we can not quite articulate how it is familiar. Using archetypal imagery and a specific method of display Pippin creates a museum like space that adds authenticity to his objects. Check out his website: www.ronpippin.com
