  Howard House is pleased to present "This Growing Up Stuff…", Sean M. Johnson’s second solo show at the gallery. Johnson's work continues to seduce the viewer both by the seeming magic of its set up and the power of its implied narrative; personal and intimate memories are displayed, as intense and elusive as a familiar smell or sound. In This Growing Up Stuff…, Johnson returns to flashpoints from childhood, using them to explore the change in perspective that takes place between childhood and adulthood.
