The Lost Color of Empathy Charcoal, Aged Paper & Pastel on 18 x 24″ 140lb watercolor paper Currently available here Faced with a foreign color, this entity begins to feel life in its gaze.

Well, what a way to open my third exhibition! Thank you to everyone who took time out of their lives, traveled far and of course, purchased a piece from my opening this past Friday. The Third Time's a Harm exhibition is something I haven't stopped working on in months and it was beautiful for the chaos to come together in such a way. Being surrounded by people who appreciate my work was something I am very thankful for. The Fathers of Undoing: A Visitation (my latest video installation) seemed to steal the show creating a video and auditory experience that......
Prepare for The Third Time's a Harm by watching the trailerWell, after months of work, it's here. This Friday, The Third Time's a Harm officially opens to the public! This exhibition encompasses five years of work along with a lot of new pieces being revealed for the first time. Speaking of being revealed, my new large-scale video installation (The Fathers of Undoing: A Visitation) will take the stage at KSD & The Radio Room to create a visual and auditory experience. I've put everything I have into this show and I encourage anyone in the area or willing to make......
My words so smooth, glossed over your heads with commas scraping whatever is left of you. Commas cut, I'll bleed you wet. Red velvet fluid vignette. You know I've got the combination to the blood bank (anything but) safe between your thighs. So attached to death, advocate for the flies. I'll get out what's good from you, just to be close to your peak moment. And you'll know I control it.Red Velvet Fluid Vignette was also transformed into a spoken word musical composition. I hope you enjoy this writing piece and another taste of why I have been continually referred......
The Onlooker Waits For Me to Bleed Charcoal, aged paper, type, collage with vintage photo on 18 x 24″ 140lb watercolor paper Original Available Here Type reads as follows: I know you wanted better for me, but that doesn't change what you get. I was set in motion of emotional disorder and expected to be orderly, but I split the difference. I made my way to the disorderly line where I met my friends, trauma and knife-play. Was this the better you wanted from me? Carving my future right above the knee....
The Holy Ascension of Spit Charcoal, aged paper, handwriting on 18 x 24" 140lb watercolor paper Available A fragile and vulnerable entity is commanded to spit into the right hand of an unseen being in this chaotic, surreal scene. Handwriting scatters around the emission reading, "You had such promise. Make me into something worth destroying. Fill me up with your emptiness that I created. I like watching you dry slowly. The light in your eyes dims, spit by spit."...
Well, as I am finally getting back to normal life (if there is such a thing for me), but my art exhibition this last weekend went amazing. The amount of time and energy I put into it was entirely worth it and I hope those in attendance enjoyed it. I want to thank everyone who came out for it (special thanks to the person who flew from LA and close friends for making the long trek) and got to see my video sculpture along with over a dozen new pieces and countless prints. Debuting over a dozen new charcoal originals......
