I was so pleased when I found Aquatics, a book of some of Henry Horenstein's black and white photographs of underwater creatures, on sale at a used book store in Providence this weekend. The images are kind of ambiguously ghostly. You can find his work here.

since moving to boston, my life has been overcome with cat humor and baby spit up. i need to get my ish together and apply to grad school. i need to make things. as of the immediate future, i need to make a halloween costume.

i've recently become increasingly comfortable being by myself. a friend of mine has inadvertently taught me how necessary it is to escape the whirl of society. and it feels damn good, too.
today i sat outside and looked up through the tree branches at the sun and just cleared my head.

Above are images from my Thesis Reception. I hope they help you get familiar with the atmosphere and how my photographs felt in the gallery. My last year in college in coming to a close, and this day was probably the most fulfilling of the past four years.

crimson crops

these are some silkscreen prints that i was working on a few months ago. they're abstractions of a pieced-together architectural scene. printing them, i felt the freedom to go in any and every direction i sought. here are a few of the results.

my thesis is completed!? such a strange feeling. 

in the spirit of heritage that i used as inspiration for my thesis, i have decided to upload a few of the slides (converted to digital) that i never ended up using in my show. these haven't been revealed in years, and i'm sure my family will enjoy seeing some more memory-provoking images. hopefully you will, too. so enjoy.

Officially, my thesis show, called Devenir, will be up at the Hunt-Cavanagh Gallery on the East Campus at Providence College (in Providence, Rhode Island). It'll be there from April 19th- April 24th, and the gallery hours are 9am- 4pm. The reception will be on Saturday the 24th from 2pm- 4pm. Needless to say, I'm both stoked and stressed.

Above, are some images that I've been working on to round out my portfolio.

tim walker photography 

(and some collaboration with the lovely tim burton)

i love the ethereal feeling of tim walker's work. sometimes its nice to investigate art that is completely different than your own. for me, it helps me really discover what i like and what i want to get out of my work.
