Located in the Maryland city’s Leakin Park, the Baltimore-based artist installed a series of ink on aluminum dibond and polyester-blend fabric works among the trees, rubble and ruins of an old Waterwheel, as well as the publication of an untitled, open edition book, with a segment: “A supportive surface goes to a spirit seller. My impulse is to watch an ever widening image of what appears to be. Things seeking what may be held on to before becoming some strange, new material.”

The ‘gallery’ space itself is located in the eerie forest where The Blaire Witch Project and The Wire were both filmed, as well as a few other myths and tales to go along. Ghostly, the exhibition exists solely for online dissemination and documentation.**

Michael Bussell’s A Table Walks into a Bar solo exhibition was on at Baltimore’s Wild Flower, running June 19 – September 17, 2017.
