Self Trepanation

Internalizing all interactions with the physical world, I find myself obsessively overanalyzing and examining the struggles, anxieties, and chimerical wars held within the individual mind–those formidable pressures we place upon ourselves and the imaginative journeys of escape we are capable of taking outside our physical boundaries by venturing deep within the psyche. Beyond examination of the immediate human self, I’m fascinated by that unknown metaphysical connective magic that binds us all together as living beings. What unites us to our environment, to our world, our universe? What connects us to the past and future? Fascinating mysteries are these uncertain spaces between matter and energy, and the mysticism that travels betwixt the two. I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada and have been a San Francisco/Bay Area dweller since 2005 after finishing art school in Denver, Colorado and moving around various places that offered either oceans or mountains to play amidst. Thanks for checking out my anxiety garden!Urban Decay 3 will focus on the aesthetics of urban low-brow art; an underground visual art movement. Artists have been selected from around the country to exhibit. Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comic world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, graffiti and other subcultures. This exhibit will also showcase vinyl doll submissions that have been artfully decorated.Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
