Oh man! Today is the last day that my exhibition, “Flesh Blood Bone”, will be up

Oh man! Today is the last day that my exhibition, “Flesh Blood Bone”, will be up at Corey Helford Gallery. I cannot believe that it went by so fast. It has been an honor to show with such an amazing gallery. I met so many wonderful people at the opening on the 5th of November. I am excited to begin working towards my 2017 shows.

Here are sections for every piece I created for the show over ten months.

For one last time, my artist statement for this show:

Artist Statement:

Flesh Blood Bone:

Animals have always been an essential part of storytelling, symbolism, and spirituality. I am continuing this tradition by producing works centered around fauna to tell stories that relate to creation, mortality, the violence of nature, and my personal life.

Flesh Blood Bone is my first attempt to acknowledge, and accept, aspects of my personal history that have caused me anxiety and heartache. As in my previous work, all subjects are depicted as animals. The series of narrative works centers around my immediate family, and the interactions and emotions that occur between the four members. Recently, I felt that I could finally address these feelings on paper. I have illustrated my separation from the issues presented in Flesh Blood Bone by depicting them as otherworldly, divine animals that exist in a habitat removed from reality. The four family members, which includes myself, become abstracted versions of themselves

I plan on continuing to center my work around aspects of my life and past. I am seeking freedom from my anxiety through my artwork
