make runes of my wristbones. i'll let you.

above are some of the ghost scrolls written and hand sewn by my partner in 'darker, my love' & good friend, danielle vogel. it's interesting to huddle close with someone, to whisper ideas back and forth via a keyboard & to turn away from them, to work separately, yet always cupping the joined idea in mind. danielle & i grew up together on long island, that strange, beautiful space so near the sea. i feel lucky to have met her and even luckier that she agrees to be brave and share herself in this way with me. if you'd like to see the rest of her work for the show, slip over here to articulated gallery and let it seep in.

darker, my love: sneak peek

"forget me not"

if i've seemed quite on here lately, it's due to hermiting myself away in my studio making paintings for next week's show. if you live in SF, i'd love to meet you! this show has been the culmination of feelings i've had for two years, since the death of my father. as personal as it's ispiration is, it's also partly inspired by my recent trip to lily dale as well as the beetlejuice movie & cartoons. the 'charachter' of the paintings is lydia from beetlejuice, i felt she best served as a metaphor for a heroine who is able to live within both the natural & supernatural worlds as well as communicating with those that live in the 'neitherworld'. the show also features the haunting vignettes of writer danielle vogel, & i feel her writing compliments the work perfectly. if you don't live near SF, the show will be up on loved to death's website & you can also contact them directly if you're interested in any of the work. there will also be a few prints available for sale opening night. hope to meet some of you!

xoxo.
