I document so I am, am I? The brain is machine that memorizes stimulation but is it correct or is it altering what we perceive in the process? Living means being part of something greater then the opinion of one. Art makes us aware that life is just a very good magic card trick and that Art happens in my head and not outside of it. While I observe what happens on the periphery I build my own time

Headlines & Time bombsTick, tick who is there?The mission winds down like a wound up doll that lost its spring.“Shock and Awe” stepped way outside the law and took down the empire that had missed its step by side stepping justice and equality.The math doesn’t count up in the schools for the children and their parents, brothers, sisters, relatives working at the world’s largest retailer in a fight

Pennies and promises from the pockets of HeavenFirst there was stillness than a rush of fermented flavors, a drum roll like buttery popcorn popping into a megaphone.Colors reduced blocked bleached out by chalky white eating away like hard core acid on the brain of the self indulgent. Picking on it like pigeons on a piece of stale wonder bread that has lost its power of wonder.Traces of vaginal

Look alike or don’t like the lookThe suit makes the man the condom size makes the modern day Romeo. Myths are like falling stars they fall from high above into an endless far below bottomless pit of gravity simply called “No men’s land”;an old saying for a frontier which cannot be inhabitated by eager human settlers who don’t settle for a little piece of earth but want the whole earthy cake.Why

A hole in the EarthOr I am just not that into me anymore. Suddenly there was a window like a hole in the earth an escalator or elevator that went own into a crusty menagerie of rotating crimson colored collages of elements like a funnel of mixed media sucking on my cortex and then it was blackened dark again.Than a sign flickered hanging from a mental beam spelling it out in greenish hues “

The It FactorI remember standing in line as a teenager trying to get into the in In-clubs in Europe being part off and being accepted by something that seemed bigger than what I could envision for myself.A few years later I was a designer with my own runway shows and people would have to stand in line to get into my shows trying to get by an ugly body guard to get in to feel like they belong to

Revolution in imaginationOr Anatomy of a serial loverI am always walking past fires of books burning at places of history; I am passing by walls that echo the voices of the exiled from life, the crashed, the lovelorn, the heart beaten.My brain has feet, which carry me along on their wild goose chases of finding reliance along fields of hope and joyful singing meadows.I am alone at least alone in

Brain children of the Master MindVistas over over-viewed valleys lead into depth while learning is a curve and opinion is learned.A Requiem is an Ode to a certain moment which has past. A vision is an option for action. A mentor leads with wisdom and guides with patience. Compassion is starved for healing.

Can you tell me a bit about your art practice and what drives you to create Art? Art helps in my process of letting my guard down. I enjoy how art enables me to be vulnerable. I think my vulnerability helps the audience to be ok with vulnerable themselves. What labels are you comfortable with if any and if not why?I guess I’m working on becoming comfortable with labels. I am a person of more

Variation (City)From the perspective of the satellite, the urban rooftop landscape looks like a quarantine site: apparently unchanging, contained and secure. As with any system existing in an environment of flux, there are (literally) cracks in the surface, the boundary between the inhabited and off-limit space is constantly breached by water, plant, animal and human life.ARTIST STATEMENTThe
