Hello Everyone,
I've been going through a lot of jam-packed changes since late April and I turn around and find out it is June! I completed my internship making props at Berkeley Rep, took two weeks off to move back into the Splung warehouse in San Francisco where Aleph and catton Sugi have been waiting for me since my internship started in July last year. Donated 10 boxes of art supplies to S.C.R.A.P. and capricornian-ly organized all my belongings before I started my new job at Virgin America Airlines! Trained for 3 weeks, took several tests/exams that comprised of hours of studying, passed with a baker's dozen of my fellow teammates and off we were thrown into the arena of the San Francisco International Airport! It's been quite exciting running around and meeting literally loads of people at the ticket counter and gates, getting used to full makeup, nylons and a white blouse but the best part so far has been opening and closing Airbus airplane doors. Ka-Ching! and off those people are onto their next destination. My world has gotten bigger and it is a relief and a blessing to know that I really can be anywhere I want. San Francisco has brought the world to me. Thank you Aleph for bringing me home!
...and during those two weeks off and since, I've sweated gas masks and bullets to get my art studio up and running. A folding table, four bookshelves full of eerie ingredients plus installing a peg board to hang all of my tools so that I can squeeze in all the creating creating creating in between eating, going to the bathroom, training, studying and having sex. Oh and sleeping.
Soon, I will be presenting my show "Sorrows & Blessings" at Strychnin Gallery's Vault in Berlin!! Approximately F-o-r-t-y F-i-v-e Introversion Boxes! I am extremely excited and honored to be there and able to attend. In the last seven weeks I have made thirteen boxes that I am very proud of. I suppose I am working well under my own self-induced pressure and procrastination and there is a part of me that wants to pop out four more on my day off tomorrow.
Some of the titles of my recent works: Mercury, Mars, Faust, It Won't Come Smooth, Fragmented Growth, Divided Vision, Dance of the Demon II, The Fool, Stability, Saint Agatha, Re Morse, Light, Time.
Soon I will post photographs of them. I haven't had the time to do that yet... they will be fully documented, wrapped up the best I can and my babies will be off to Berlin!
I am very much looking forward to showing with Nuclear Religion, the artwork of Davey Jones and photographic works by Dayvid LeMmon. I feel it will be a good match, considering the themes I have been interested in. I have learned so incredibly much about myself in the last three years, encompassing my last year of Seattle and on to New York then San Francisco. I often find myself in a state of reflection, outside of the box so-to-speak...and that every single moment of sadness, hardship or struggle that I went through was met and overrided with an amazing triumph and that is why I feel happy with my life. Sorrows & Blessings.
I present to you the flyers and poster for the Strychnin show (please post them everywhere - thank you!):
