Catastrophe! is the second two person show by John Eder and Maready Evergreen at 14 BC Gallery. Eder’s work slices and dices closed-captioned TV shows into new, sinister narratives. Evergreen’s work presents The Toad and Rice, your worst enemy - an implacable, oblivious, world-wrecking tyrant manifesting as a calico and velvet toy. Bringing together these bodies of timely, pitch-black but often comedic work in one place is, indeed, catastrophic.

John Eder is a photographer and illustrator. He is also the artist-in-residence of the Naples Botanical Garden, in Naples, Florida. 

Maready Evergreen is a long-time artist and writer. In the early ‘90s, she became the editor of and a contributor to the Toad and Rice Weekly, a monthly newsletter that tracked the movements of the Toad and Rice (sworn enemy of all sentient beings, residing in the past, present, and future).
