About the work:

By all means, I strive to avoid any classification of art as a higher practice, as this creates distance and exclusivity among people, and anyone could potentially do this if they really tried. Realistically though, we all have preferences and mine lie in the realm of study, practice, and execution, always making a point to repeat because my artistic being can never be complete.

As art as in life, I prefer to work with materials that are pure and tangible, ink, ruler, French curve, compass, brush. It is important to learn to use these tools and their individual techniques as far too often real skills like these are falling through a generational crack, overlooked for the simpler tricks that digital programs offer. I would like for my portfolio to be something that people generations from now can view in a gallery or book rather than a physical misrepresentation of a digitally born file. You benefit more from food in its unprocessed state, why should art be any different?

I aim to surround myself with reminders that there is always an alternative. Trends come, subcultures and movements get tapped then watered down with diluted versions of their former selves. I want my work to resonate a light of purity. It is important for me to observe trends and actively make strides to avoid being a follower.

I know that the large amounts of time I take to maintain the technical skills of a traditional artist are worth it. Letting yourself fall into the trap of art as a speedy form of financial stability leads you down the path of a crowd pleaser. My work is for the people that take the time to notice and discuss the details that are there for anyone to see.

STARING EYES #3: Yule Logs and Certain Types of Nog
Saturday, December 15th
8 PM
Free

In a nod to Charlie Brown Christmases of yesterday, lumpy clay abominable snowmen, unnamed islands of misfit toys, charred yule logs and deliriously spiked eggnogs, STARING EYES December program presents a festive seasonal lineup of experimental, acerbic animated films you most certainly can't Tivo.

The program features shorts by fifteen claymation artists, cartoonists, former Sesame Street animators, up-and-comers and underground old-schoolers from Japan, France, Canada, the UK and all across the US of A. Also, for an extra dose of yesteryear's holiday flavor, we will have a few of our favorite cartoon golden oldies and holiday oddities thrown into the mix.

Eggnog, popcorn and hot chocolate will be provided, but bring your own blankets and beer. It's December at an alternative art space, meaning it'll be a little chilly, so please dress comfortably.

The manual nature of photography has allowed for a shift in the consideration of what can become a still-life. Photography continues to employ current methods of presentation while incorporating both symbology and classical imagery. Today, photographic process allows the studio to function similarly to the camera. The studio acts as an interior situation, where scene creation and object placement occurs via the photographer. These functions reinvigorate the relationship between the camera and the studio, forming an interchangeable relationship. Third Party Gallery’s December exhibition focuses on the shift in current modes of representation in still life photography. The reinstatement of the photographic medium involves a practice in which the studio takes on the role of a laboratory, releasing the controlled elements and conditions of a traditional still life into a more experimental engagement. Through this exercise, current practices in still life photography create a myriad of relationships between objects and the represented image, while continuing to challenge our perceptions on the nature of image making.
