1. REPRESSED RHYTHM

What you want to escape from might be the very thing you’re supposed to run toward. ‘Repressed Rhythm’ is about the inescapable cycles we desperately try to ‘escape’ like hamsters on a wheel. When running, watch what you trample and suffocate.

2. BLIZZARD

LOST IN A FRIGID SEA, ‘BLIZZARD’ EXPLORES THE DESPERATE NEED TO BREAK FREE, AND SATURATE.

Painting

3. UNION

Running doesn’t get you as far as reaching might. I’d grow more fingers if it meant I might reach you faster, bind us sooner, and let us bask in the glow of the divine.

“Divinity is everywhere,In union, in dirt, debris, sand and ash; in paint, on canvas, in our joined handsIn our momentary senses and our eternal dances.”
