This is the shop that I had a trunk show at on March 1st. I love The Muse in Frederick, MD. I regularly sell out of this shop.

My sipping caramel from the Craftsman and Wolves trunk show. It was thinner than I expected, but it had a nice burnt caramel flavor with enough salt to balance it. And to break things up a bit, it came with croissant chips. I drank a little as I walked home, but I ended up stopping at a park to drink the rest so I could properly dip the croissant pieces.

This work is a meditation on the meanings a suitcase can hold for me. A suitcase represents that moment when you leave the comfort of childhood. Certain journeys mark transitions in my life. The suitcase is a poignant symbol of those times. As I grew older my travels have become more solitary and the destinations more exotic. Home feels farther and farther away despite this a suitcase serves as the constant and one remaining tie to my past. The in-between times have always been difficult for me. The days when one experience has ended and the next is not quite there hold a great amount of anticipation and refection. At these times I usually return to my childhood home. I simultaneously feel like the kid who once lived there, and the person became in my last journey. I find myself packing again. I go through all the things I left behind last time and the treasures I had with me years ago. Each time I have to choose what will make the cut and what will never fit into the suitcase that will be in my next life.

My goal is to attach meaning to experience and attempt to see multiple perspectives during the artistic process, or journey. With the Trunk Series, I was trying to find an alternative to the traditional canvas, something that would convey a sense of humanity even before applying any paint. I have had a fascination with old, abused and disregarded suitcases and trunks for some time, collecting them as I rummaged through garage sales and thrift stores. They are works of art that provide a feeling of individuality, ownership and privacy. The choice to begin painting on them came as an obvious one for me.
People are always moving from one place to another, whether it is emotionally, physically, philosophically or ideally. Not unlike the changing of the seasons, this is something that happens on impulse and can never be stopped. It is in the human nature to be nomadic, explore and discover. These are the driving factors in our evolution, both as a race and as individuals. In fact, our existence on this planet is due to our need to move and therefore adapt. It has often been a concern of mine that we are loosing the ability to adapt, throwing the suitcases to the side, becoming overwhelmed with society and giving up on the journey. This series is my attempt to make a physical and emotional association to this person, and persuade him or her to become creative and start a new journey.
The journey is the destination.
