Losing your Grip on the Dreams of the Past.
This installation is inspired by two equal forces. First, youth - by awe at the images of the West that I saw through the car window on family road trips when I was a kid. Second, aging – by dislocation as the myth of the myth of the West came into sharper focus as I became an adult.
I grew up in Colorado Springs and after spending time in the Midwest and overseas, I came back to Denver with my wife. We are now living in the great chaos created by three kids under 6. I have had numerous solo shows and my work is in private collections across the country.
I am inspired by local artists like Floyd Tunson and Willy Matthews as well as others like William Kentridge, Basquiat, and Kara Walker.
Such great artists, so happy they all have shared their work!
