What we know of the end of the world is beautiful. Weightless, even. Mind, media, mixed messages of rebirth and transparent endings. Gods of misfortune. Indecision. (These things exist in the shadows and are nameless.) Mobs, mayhem, sweet monstrosities. Surround the night like armor and are victims of a more perfect future. The stars are [...]
Beachside Blues
My latest experiment in collage art, "Beachside Blues."
Philosophy of Sound
too much of this is thought out loud— what it is to be alive & aiming for the sun like static among trees or continuations of a long-awaited dream beyond mysteries of tidal waves tadpoles silence

Lunar Escape
Another collage made from old paint swatches and a vintage Life magazine: "Lunar Escape."
Off Channel
My latest experiment in collage art, "Off Channel." Several images in this collage came from a 1945 issue of Life magazine (pasted on a 12x12" paint swatch). The magazine, which I was so looking forward to receiving, came in a bundle of three vintage magazines I had ordered from a private seller in Vancouver, BC [...]
