ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Evidently there is a UK law where you MUST get your statements sent to you. Even if you don't want them and you're happy to look at them online like I am.
Garbage Art Wall Hanging. ( 6" x 6" ) Dumpster collage including Diver #2's artist's statement run-on typing using a dumpster rescued 1940's typewriter. ( this comes from reading too many dumpster-rescued Art Forum magazines...I don't read them, I just look at the ads.) Clip art strawberry plant, rubber stamp gyroscope and cube. Discarded mechanical drawing book diagram, trashed gardening magazine bare tree, and spiral tissue paper from Mandy's gift package ( again!)
Some how, I think artist's statements are hilarious. Especially the circular logic, self-referencing ones.
The three pots with box balls and discrete lighting make a bold statement in this contemporary garden.
The pale cream (almost white) slabs create an ultra modern feel.

Originally designed by Richard Crichton and Robert Reid, 1801-6 it was largely remodelled and enlarged by David Bryce, 1863 in a Roman Baroque style. Bryce added the wings and the linking entrance extension. He replaced the simple saucer dome on cylindrical drum with a Roman Baroque dome. Part of the basement has been arranged as a museum.
Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral of Christ the King is one of the most iconic church buildings of the 20th century, a daring architectural statement of the Church's embrace of post Vatican II reform and a unique structure with it's tent-like form and cylindrical lantern tower filled with glowing colour.
The present cathedral was begun in 1962 and opened five years later; it was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, winning designer of an architectural competition to build the new cathedral. This had followed years of hiatus and the abandonment of the previous insanely ambitious plans for the cathedral, building of which had begun in 1933 to the designs of Sir Edwin Lutyens but stopped soon after World War II with only the crypt completed. Lutyens's huge domed building verged on megalomania, designed to exceed the size of the enormous Anglican cathedral rising at the other end of Hope Street, and if finished would have been the World's second largest church, dominating the city. The need to revise such plans in the face of postwar austerity was hardly surprising.
Instead Liverpool was bequeathed a dramatic and instantly recognisable modernist landmark, which despite a few irreverent nicknames is generally admired for its innovation and contemporary artwork, foremost among which is the richly coloured dalle de verre glazing of the suspended lantern tower by John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens, who were also responsible for most of the glazing below which bathes the interior of the building in a subtle blue light.
The circular interior has the central altar as it's focus, below the lantern tower and a spiky suspended canopy, and is ringed by a sequence of individually designed chapels and annexes, most of which feature altars, minimalist coloured glazing and further contemporary artworks. It is a vast, auditorium-like space which ensures every member of the congregation has an unobscured view of the altar.

THE ZODIAC SERIES I
2008
ARTIST STATEMENT
My ZODIAC SERIES I was inspired by the wheel of the zodiac as represented in a 6th century synagogue mosaic floor excavated in Beit Alpha, Israel. I came across the image of that mosaic pavement on the internet recently, while researching old Jewish mosaic floors in conjunction with a mixed media series I was creating on ancient Jewish symbols. But although I had seen images of the Beit Alpha zodiac floor before, this time it captured my imagination and spurred me on to express the signs of the zodiac as part of my Judaica series.
I have never been interested in astrology – my knowledge of it being pretty well confined to the awareness that I myself am a Pisces – so I have asked myself what it was about the Beit Alpha zodiac floor that captured my imagination. Was it the statement I read on one of the internet sites that the floor was excavated in 1929, the year of my birth, which first piqued my interest and made me feel an emotional connection to it? Or was it the fact that the floor was made of mosaics, a medium I have long loved and used in my art, that made me drawn to it? Or was it my recent realization, through conversations with an Israeli friend who has become an orthodox Jew, that the signs of the zodiac are an integral part of the Jewish tradition that made me realize that artworks about them could therefore be included among my Judaica works?
I can’t be sure what drew me to the zodiac signs in 2008. But I rather suspect that it was mainly that I was moved, at this late stage of my life, by the beautiful, folk-art nature of the images representing the different signs of the zodiac in the Beit Alpha floor. Once I decided to create a series about these signs, I was aware that each of them loomed so large in my mind that I would devote a separate work to that sign. Yet I wanted all twelve works to be harmonious so that together they would constitute a single unit, the way the Beit Alpha floor itself did.
To maintain the integrity and interconnectedness of the series, I had to solve several challenging problems: First of all, some of the images in the Beit Alpha floor itself were damaged and had to be recreated in conformity with what was presumably there in the original floor. Next, I had to decide how to stay faithful to the original images and yet convey that each of them was part of a mosaic floor. Then, how do I indicate what season of the year each sign represents and yet keep the series cohesive? And, finally, how do I list and organize the series for display purposes?
My solution to these problems is evident in this collection. To ensure awareness that the images were derived from a mosaic floor, I decided to use a pattern of mosaics in the background of each sign, taking pains, however, to create a harmony between the colors and shapes in the background and those in the original zodiacal image. Having picked a symbolic color for each season – green for spring, yellow for summer, red for fall and blue for winter – I rendered some of the mosaic shapes in the background of each sign in the appropriate seasonal color. I found out that it is traditional to begin a listing of the signs with Taleh (Aries) because it represents the first month of spring, and to organize the signs, if they are presented for display in circular formation, with the spring signs to the east. Using mixed media - combining printing, collage and acrylic painting - was helpful in accomplishing all this.

At the end of May each year there is a great Carnaval in San Francisco's Mission District. It is a big celebration of Central and South American cultures as well as some San Francisco humor. The parade is awesome - it lasts for over three hours with groups in great costumes, a lot of dancers, bands, performers, celebrities, and people in native outfits - all in all very worth going to. I took these photos in May 2012; I missed the 2013 parade but really hope to be back for the 2014 edition!
