darker, my love: prints!

these three paintings are available as affordable prints from my show, 'darker, my love' with danielle vogel at loved to death. this is the last week the show is up and also my last show of paintings until 2012.

i feel very personally attached to these works as they are focused on my idea/obsession of what happens to the relationships we have with loved ones when they die. i used the story of beetlejuice and it's characters to convey this idea/question, taking themes from both the film and cartoon version, the latter of which has lydia and beetlejuice in an intimate friendship. if you haven't done so already, please take a look at the show in it's entirety, danielle vogel's writings are truly amazing and i was honored both to show at loved to death and to show with danielle again.

'darker, my love' 

'always splitting into two, never ever whole'

'forget me not'

'to & from the neitherworld'

'always waiting for you'

'webbing the ghosts'

'watch out for sandworms! -or- the black sea part iii'

this was the quickest four day filled trip filled with luck, gray paint, ghosts, the sea, hawks, sandy boot prints, beetlejuice, boston terriers, violet champagne, 7- eleven casino, glasses filled with feathers, bone rooms, rose gold bloodmilk, love & most importantly, family & meeting new friends.

if you're interested, loved to death has made all of the paintings available on their website here. you'll also be able to view danielle vogel's ( my partner in this collaborative show) writing & stitched texts there also. please read them to fully understand the paintings, if you're so inclined.

sadly, this will be my last show of a large body of paintings until 2012. i may participate in a few group shows if asked, but my poor wrists need a break & i'd like a full year or so to work on my next show.

thank you all for your support & love.
