Crash is a print editorial/art series inspired by both J.G. Ballard's novel and the music from The Normal's Warm Leatherette. Three subsequent tie designs have been informed by the photographic collaboration between Shorb and her models - Crash; Gear Shift; Tread Lightly. Please inquire for price, size and availability of prints.

Two images from our Crash Series will be on view starting October 31 at the grand opening of Devotion gallery in Brooklyn, New York. The group exhibtion running time and opening information is forthcoming.

Devotion is a new gallery in Williamsburg where space exists as a cros-section of the world at-large. Devotion combines science, art, architecture, sound, illustration, data, fashion, games and complexity theory to revel our existence as part of an integral whole.


Crash has previously been on view in it's entirety at The Bankle, Detroit MI.
