From Plush Gallery:
“Raymond Butler is a local artist from Dallas, Texas whose work primarily focuses on pop culture and childhood memories of growing up in South Dallas in the 90s. His work builds narratives through engaging with memory as a formal device. As the artist says, “For some time, I’ve been creating handmade wooden versions of sandwiches I call, ‘Sammies’. They are a nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek representation of the ups and downs of my upbringing. All are different in some way: anthropomorphized cartoonishly, sometimes missing the details.” These pieces are not only an expression of the era and environment of his youth but also an escape into a fictionalized cartoon world of humor, violence, and endless entertainment away from the realities of the external world.”
