Magic > Nature
If you are in Portland please visit False Front to see Magic > Nature, a show that I have some work from Alaska in!

Artists:
John Bohl (Baltimore, MD)
Lauren Marie Cherry (Los Angeles, CA)
Tia Factor (Portland, OR)
Lauren Payne (Chicago, IL)
Kendra Larson (Portland, OR)
Hermonie Only (Baltimore, MD)
Andrew Rogers (San Francisco, CA)
Ian Waite (Portland, OR)
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog featuring the work of:
Jonathan Allen (New York, NY)
Casey Droege (Pittsburgh, PA)
Bronwen Tate (Berkeley, CA)
Science examines and has largely demystified the universe: Despite this, many artists seek to represent the world as one filled with spirituality and secret, hidden meanings. Drawing on the lost symbolic languages of pseudo-sciences, synthetic colors and mimetic natural environments, these artists pick up the remnants of our disenchanted world and seek to assemble new truths and speak to our desire to have our world re-enchanted. MAGIC > NATURE is a grimoire of re-mystification.

Purification Ritual
During my time last summer at the Homestead AK I created a "sweat" lodge out of an abandoned 1986 white Nissan pick-up truck. The ritual took place over a one week period during which time Faith Johnson, Richard Spartos, and I would sit in the truck until the windows fully fogged (about an hour). The white truck began to represent purity and the fogged windows acted as the steam of a traditional sweat lodge.

Lunar Ritual
For the past two months I have been performing a lunar ritual as a collaborative project with Glen Jennings. Each ritual takes place on the beach during the full moon. The following images are stills from February. Videos coming soon!
