All pictures here are my copyright unless otherwise and duly noted.“The world of the grotesque is the darkness within us. Well before Freud and Jung shone a light on the workings of the subconsciuos, this correlation between darkness and our subconscious, these two forms of darkness, was obvious to people. It wasn’t a metaphor, even. If you trace it back further, it wasn’t even a correlation. Until Edison invented the electric light, most of the world was covered in darkness. The physical darkness outside and the inner darkness of the soul were mixed together, with no boundary separating the two. They were directly linked….In Murasaki Shikibu’s time, living spirits were both a grotesque phenomenon and a natural condition of the human heart that was right there with them. People of that period probably couldn’t conceive of these two types of darkness as separate form each other. But today things are different, The darkness in the outside world has vanished, but the darkness in our hearts remains, virtually unchanged. Just like an iceberg, what we label the ego or consciousness is, for the most part, sunk in darkness. And that estrangement sometimes creates a deep contradiction or confusion within us.”
-Murakami Haruki, Kafka on the Shore, translated by Philip Gabriel
I will be showing current work one night only at the RAW party at M-1-5 in Manhattan. April 26th, 2012. I have to sell 20 tickets to this thing, it’s only 10 bucks, and there’s a whole bunch of stuff on display, live performances, music, and fashion and accessory shows. Since they have bid me to appeal to my fan base, I figured I’d give you guys a shot. If you want to come drink with me and my photographs and look at some stuff, please buy a ticket through my page via this link.
