Today, tour photographers Sandra Wallbank (Charlie Puth, OneRepublic) and Valarie Allyn Bienas (Sugarland, Kenny Chesney) announce the opening of Gypsy Cadillac. Located in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville, the gallery will open its doors on Friday, September 20th (6-9 PM CST) with its inaugural show, 'Mojave Road.'
'Mojave Road' is an exhibition that showcases breathtaking photographs captured during a three-week-long journey through the Mojave Desert, featuring scenes from Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Las Vegas and more. Complemented by vintage, reimagined clothing from Cindy Sarver's Textile Revival (Franklin, TN), intricate wood craftsmanship by Bark n' Burl (Nashville), and unique ceramics by Matthew Rowe, the sensory-heavy elements create a nostalgic and cinematic atmosphere.
'Mojave Road' goes beyond historical significance, providing inspiration for creativity and resilience. As artists, Sandra and Valarie are stretching the boundaries of their craft to explore the unfamiliar challenges of change, expansion and individuality. For Valarie this effort goes deeper to a call of purpose and meaning after losing her son to an accidental overdose and is a significant step in her grief walk.
From alluring portraits of personality-filled wild horses to open-road cinematic landscapes, the exhibition encompasses the environment and spirit of the desert-dwelling trail. This installation metaphorically fills the cup of one's spirit along the journey through sights, sounds and texture. 'Mojave Road' will be open until the end of October.
