Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Friends & Family by Clay Chivers.
From Chivers' statement:
"I picked the theme, Friends & Family, for this photo show for a couple reasons. First, I’ve been drawn to the sense of community I have encountered since moving here. I have been lucky to meet and build relationships with people from all over and different backgrounds. Having no immediate family within thousands of miles of here these people have become my New York family. Many of these photos here are of my close friends, and some are of people I may have only met for a brief moment, a short chat, just long enough to snap a photo. I think it’s also important to be part of the community around you, looking after each other and uplifting others when and how you can.
"Secondly, I am lucky to be close friends with such talented individuals who continue to inspire me with their creative abilities and supportive demeanor. It didn’t hurt that they also happen to photograph really well. There are so many others that I would like to add to this show but the wall is only so big and film ain’t cheap!"
Friends & Family by Clay Chivers is on view through March 17 at the Adjacent To Life gallery hosted by Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
