Maps

has me thinking...

Nick Cave

OH wow, I reeeeeaaaally wish I could be in NY to see this new public piece by Nick Cave.  He is a major inspiration.

There is a video about the piece HERE.  So if you live in nyc or will be there during March 25- 31, you should probably put yourself at Grand Central sometime between 11- 2pm.  yep. do it.

Unholy Mess

The first year grads at UCSB (yes, including moi) are having a one-night show at the Ridley-Tree House in Santa Barbara.  

Unholy Mess: Human and Animal Life on a Warming Planet
This Thursday, March 7th, 5-8pm

Come on out for the event.

Andrés words

"Still today I am only counting on what comes of my own openness, my eagerness to wander in search of everything, which, I am confident, keeps me in mysterious communication with other open beings, as if we were suddenly called to assemble.  I would like my life to leave after it no other murmur than that of a watchman's song, of a song to while away the waiting.  Independent of what happens and what does not happen, the wait itself is magnificent."  

-André Breton (from his essay "L'Amour Fou" 1937)

In Remnants, I present three new works that are psychological explorations about 

one's relationship to space, real and imagined.

These 3 pieces were made in the past 3-4 months.  As most of you know I'm in an MFA program, 

so needless to say I've been experimenting and asking lots of questions about my work.

...NEW thoughts, processes, materials, messes, and scale...

Some pics from the show for those who weren't able to be there.

  

Now.  

back to the studio.

to make new work!
