My artist statement was changed alittle for the opening at AAC. So here is a copy of my original.


In my work, cubes become a thought process that I call Cubeular Thinking. It is a mindset that becomes meditative, but in a sort of shitty way. I’m interested in the infinite repetition of cubes as a shape, but the repetitive process in making the cubes becomes numbingly painful at times. I am use to working in a more sporadic and haphazard way but found a need to become more structured and organized to a degree. This was a realization I discovered after playing the video game Tetris for hours and hours at a time. I played this game so much that I would dream of the organization of cubes. There became a link between Tertis and what was happening in my life at that time. In the game, at first, the shapes are easy to arrange but as you advance to higher levels, the cubes fall to fast to handle. This is similar to the attempts I have had at structuring my own life. I try organizing at first, but eventually the results seem to always end up in a chaotic pile.
The cubes can represent anything. They can be examples of structure or chaos. This is why it is important that they are in order in areas, but become random piles in others. Their strengths are in numbers, depending on one another for stability. As a geometric shape cubes can represent space itself or can be boundaries of containing space. By their organization they have a practical use of space but as random piles they become a waste of space.
I see cubes reoccurring everywhere I look.

"It smells like reggae music in here"

--gar wood- Night Marchers

Great Concert Last Night

I went to the Obits and Night Marchers concert last night. They were in bands such as Hot Snakes, Rocket from the Crypt and Drive like jehu. It was an amazing experience with quite funny banter in between songs as well. A little extra for those who love a great stage presents. Check out these two bands and especially go seem them if they are in the area. If you like your face to be rocked off and your ears to ring the sweet sound of high frequency humming, than gear up for some awesome rock.

Ready to go back mid-westward

so taking a x-mas break back to Evansville, Indiana. I miss the shit out of that place, even though i'm sure i'm not missing too much. But I am. I haven't seen a river boat in a baboon's age. I haven't seen a jacked up truck with a tiny little girl driving it. Not to say that baby midgets drive big ol' trucks but it almost looks that way in truck size proportion to body size. I'm ready, I need to see it all. Just watch out, because i'll be on a rampage Indiana!
