Architecture is my life. Film is up there too. I was an English major. This photo I took of the CALTRAN (California Transportation) Building in Los Angeles combines the three. It is a strange, ultramodern structure. It has filmic tendencies (the see-through screen.) And it surely makes a linguistic statement with the gigantic number (so everybody can find the address.) Enter my world, and see my vision of the world as overlapping themes…and things.
Mission Statement:
We see everything falling apart now. The institutions we depended on are letting us down. And we have bought those so-called truths and let them shape our lives. I don’t believe in ideas anymore. So, what’s left? Nature. The physical world has laws that hold up…even if mankind’s don’t. We inhabit that world, so we must conform to those laws. I think if we understand those laws, we can correct human behavior to live in harmony with nature. We’re destroying our world, so maybe the solution is to see our place in nature and live with it and so each other.
What Drives Me
Drama
Welcome to my shows! Enter to watch people drama coming from world drama. I mean we can't separate ourselves from nature and physics. Come in to see how.
Poetry
Why do we act like this? Why do we act up? Maybe my characters - human and otherwise - can shed some light.
Art
I'm a writer, not a fine artist. But I've taken classes and created a few pieces (One was in a museum exhibition) It all connects to my literary themes. Remember: The physical world is the key.
Reviews
