Circa 2015 Los Angeles City College’s Art Department is being gutted. I am given free rein of the basement where I create the first rendition of Easter Island. An idea for an inclusive space reminiscing muchness and nihilism. The madness of the artist invites viewers. A projector with sound plays while the audience walks through this installation and witnesses the leftovers of a person spent. The lifestyle of Los Angeles and my Bipolar often rendered me exhausted from episodes of mania.
Circa 2018 A second Rendition of the Easter Island Idea called Tchotchke is conceived. This time, heavily influenced by the ideas of Noh theatre and absurdist plays. Audience can dawn a pair of wireless headphones with recorded poetry from a transistor playing on loop. Another renditioned of an abandoned studio which welcomes the audience to sit, draw, take away from the installation.
2017. A group show, Into the Labyrinth, conception of the frames of a canvas being the foundation of support. A nod and a wink into the irony of not revealing the truth behind the illusion of art and art’s relationship to the institution.
Circa 2016 called Windows. Heavily inspired by Hitchcock and the voyeuristic lifestyle of an Angelino. This installation is made with small prints, such that an individual needs to peak into in order to observe scenes with various lovers and the artist with themselves. Duchamp’s last piece, The Illuminating Gas, is also a large thought while conceiving this install.
