Beach House: Used To Be

These are for Drew who is coming to stay with us this week. They are for him in as much as he gave me an IPod with these songs on them among a thousand plus others but the video's (sans the pinche "waterfalls" cover) make me nostalgic. Drew and Amanda make me feel full of warmth.

Statement...

The work I have been making for the last couple of years is primarily about conceptual and pictoral exploration. Following rabbit holes of ideas, visual stimuli, process, pictoral structure, and what it looks like when I trace my time by having said traced time manifested visually or situationally. My work varies with each new smaller project that I am working on but the above umbrella is how I work. My overall artistic project is less about a rigid research of a few well articulated ideas, and much more about “maybes” and “what ifs”. Theology, philosophy, freedom, and the like, have metaphors that lie dormant waiting to be discovered and brought to light, and art making is where I find these most often.
