dark feathers.

even the edges of me are vanquished.

every bone a dull throb, a lock to an unopened door. 

the best of me is hidden, feathered.

a perfect pairing of artists, jeremy hush & liza corbett, are showing together at loved to death's articulated gallery. each dreamscape contains an individual cosmos with a well developed fantastical visual language, with liza's focusing on the supernatural elements she began developing in her last show whilst hush's work features the ball point pen drawings / watercolors he is becoming known for. i'd like to slip into either world and meander for a while amongst the bones and birds and snakes.

immortal beloved . . .

sweet 29 raked in this amazing white cobra snake from the much coveted collection of the lovelies over at loved to death, (take a peek at their new website!) i nearly wept with joy when i pulled him out of his mystery box! the only thing missing is a name. . . . any ideas?

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.
