Richard Mosse

"Irish-born photographer Richard Mosse is not yet 30, but he has already documented some of the most astounding sites in the world, including the smuggling tunnels of Gaza, bullet-scarred Beirut and the wrecked palace of Saddam Hussein. His work might be described as conceptual documentary depicting significant issues of our time in unconventional ways.

This time he took his critical eye to Eastern Congo and came back with Quick, a series of photographs shot with Kodak Aerochrome infared film to create an alternative image of the complex social and political dynamics of the country. The film, designed in connectionwith the United States military during the Cold War, reveals a spectrum of light beyond what the human eye can perceive. He aims 'to shock the viewer with this surprising bubblegum palette, and provoke questions about how we tend to see, and don’t see, this conflict.'" -We find Wildness

Grant Cornett

Grant Cornett uses such incredible color pallets... Each color bounces and speaks to the next so well. If I saw these in person I would stare at these for hours and try to memorize these colors together... they are just so good.

Hasisi Park

I love Hasisi Park dream-like photos. They are so vivid, intimate, and above all personal. Be sure to check out her biography on her site as well.lovely and honest.

James Jean

James Jean is an artist I just recently heard about. He's a Taiwan-born LA based artist. He began as an illustrator and as of recently has been getting a lot of attention for his paintings. His sketchbook drawings completely amaze me- talk about creative- the line work and the imagery are just stunning. beautiful and intricate.

Recent Work

Above are some images of my work from a group show this February.

Walton Ford

I've really loved Walton Ford's work for a while. I was able to see a series of his pieces in San Francisco a couple years ago and I couldn't believe the detail. I love how successful he is as a story teller, these secret worlds of animals or the bizarre stories of the relationships that developed between scientists and their animal specimens...It's a good kind of weird.

"Walton Ford was born in 1960 in Larchmont, New York. Ford graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with the intention of becoming a filmmaker, but later adapted his talents as a storyteller to his unique style of large-scale watercolor. Blending depictions of natural history with political commentary, Ford’s meticulous paintings satirize the history of colonialism and the continuing impact of slavery and other forms of political oppression on today’s social and environmental landscape. Each painting is as much a tutorial in flora and fauna as it is as a scathing indictment of the wrongs committed by nineteenth-century industrialists or, locating the work in the present, contemporary American consumer society." -Art21

Kate MacDowell

"I’m fascinated by the 'weak links', the smallest bellwethers of environmental damage: the frogs, insects, small birds and field mice that are often the first to succumb to environmental stresses. Although not as showy as the polar bear or tiger, nevertheless these easily overlooked and undervalued tiny disasters, extinctions, and deaths nibble away at our own secure future by foreshadowing future impacts on human health and welfare. They also raise larger moral and theological questions. How significant is the fall of a sparrow? I use a human skeleton or human limbs to show that our own fate as animals also reliant upon our environment is closely intertwined with these creatures, and that in losing a part of the natural world, we are losing a part of our own identity as well." -Kate MacDowell

Kate Clark

Kate Clark's work really caught my attention when I recently saw her stuff. Clark’s sculpture’s have sympathetic faces tinged with anger, regret or seductiveness, question what it is to be human. In an interview lark stated “I create sculptures that are natural animal bodies with faces that have been transformed to have human facial features,” Clark says. “The sculptures present the viewer with the human face, which they relate to, the animal body, with which they reject a relationship, and finally the fusion of these two parallel but distinctly different lives.” Interesting work visually-- but I still feel the more I read about her the more that her work can be pushed more... but cool stuff.

...so moving

An apology that shook my soul... beautiful performance.
