Joe Rudko is an artist living and working in Seattle. He's also young, smart and incredibly gifted. Despite these things, I truly like him very much. His work, which manipulates found photographs and the ancillary detrius of our chemical photorgaphy past to explore questions of truth and perception is, in a word, fantastic. And did I mention he runs a gallery called Two Shelves out of his apartment that features monthly intallations from established and emerging artists? Well, I just did.
