"Moksha"

"Shambhala"

"Saddhu"

Three part mixed media series, 2024. The ascetic lay under the banyan tree, the fungi took hold of his brain. He achieved moksha for his madness and now his soul non/exists within Shambhala.

"Sacred Thru Profane"

Collage, 2020. Inspired from one of many re-watches of Dances Sacred and Profane.

RIP Fakir <3

"Swamp Thang"

Mixed media collage, 2024.

"ᎤᏍᎨᏥᎸ ᎠᎵᏍᎩᏍᏗ" (usgetsilv alisgisdi - chicken-comb dance)

Mixed media, 2022. Playful sexual dimorphism, ritualized by the two-spirit. The two-spirit gyrates in the chicken-comb dance.

The language is Cherokee (which I'm part). The concept of the Two Spirit is pan-native-american, the term itself being formally coined near the end of the 20th century by queer indigenous activists and cultural preservationists.

"Holy Fire Face"

Collage mosaic, 2021. Inspired by a re-watch of Holy Mountain, that time showing some friends who'd absolutely not have seen it on their own accord, but they did enjoy the experience ultimately. The particular scene that triggered this piece was when they sacrificed the mannequin doubles to the fire in the eyeball table.

"Across Lifetimes Untold, We Still Say Hello"

This piece is inspired by a petroglyph in Peterborough, Ontario, c. 900-1100 CE. The First Nations people call them Kinomagewapkong, "The Teaching Rocks". To the Anishinaabe, the rock site is sacred, an area where spirits and the corporeal can meet. This figure really sticks out, scholars believe the top of their head is the Sun.

How the sun's light reflects upon the moon shining across our faces as we look up and connect, 2024.
