Evolution of Emotion

{Seducing Reincarnation}

    Been feeling much better lately, getting used to the new swing of life. Deep in study of modern art, which by the way is slowly selling me on modern abstraction. Got to go the Met, Moma and Chelsea  last week in New York and was completely blown away by the scale and voice of those galleries. It definately woke up the sleeping fine artist in me, reminded me of how banal can be so potent. Just any thought or madness when excuted and presented in a formal setting can universally relate to everyone, "giving a greater purpose to a work of art than just being a blue square on a white background."
  
   I can smell change in the air – fresh beginnings and new projects slowly gelling together, time to come out of my hermit hole and reinvent the things I used to feed off of. Hope all of the philly bound and recently departed friends are fairing well thinking of ya greg.

Here are some of my recent work:
This is a project about media oversaturation and it's effects on our generation or as I coined "Sinformaion"
It is a series of 3 sister posters


print size: 13x19 | printed on pearl gloss








This is set of Sister Posters on "Tepenation" , The process of burring a 2 cm whole in your skull with a drill to releave pressure and increase brain flow to the mind to stimulate the dormant regions unused. It was amazing to research this subject which is very taboo in the science community, so most of the executions of the process happen in peoples homes or in mexico due to the looser medical laws. If you don't believe me check out this link -

This is the article that intrigued me so much that I had to tackle this topic. A real like journal of someone perfoming this procedure in their apartment. It's a must read.

Trepan | print size 6 X 10 | matte paper







Thats all for now I will try to keep posting more works more often, and actually doing a work in project post to show all the materials and stages of my process. So stay tuned to the only station that matters GARRICA.
nothing but love ( and alot of cynicism)
