redwhiteandblue not blackandwhite

I installed some pieces I have been working on in a student gallery at my school. I am getting my BFA in a couple of months and this is the stuff I am working on for my thesis show. This is the first time I have installed any of this work.

I am dealing with identity and icons as a tired muse. somehting bold and humble simultaneously.

In Spite of Place

Here is a piece of public art I did for a class. It felt less like official "public art" and more like street art when i did it. I think I want to do more like it... but riskier and more handsome.






"In Spite of Place" exists on the corner of Second St. and Vance Ave. near downtown Memphis Tennessee.

It deals with the idea of home that lives in all of our minds and the displacement of the word in a physical way.

I am in Memphis Tennessee. these are some pictures I took. I painted a lot while I was down here. I'll post those pieces of shit later.

I painted these things for a few complicated reasons. But initially because I wanted to. Roar.
