📺 ACT01\SCENE02
fwiw, when I say “catalytic” I’m speaking in terms of ignition. It’s also a very personally charged word about a light letterpress project from my days swimming around inside a fishbowl. Please consider that without the aforementioned case of mistaken identity, this story never gets scripted, and I never end up realizing what’s truly been silently and subconsciously eating away at me all these years… not just some hopelessly romantic college style crush.
Please do not consider any of this curatorial as an attempt at conversion so much as it is a personally professed re-engagement with my own faith. These days, I consider myself a Christian above all else. It is worth noting that I may have been raised Catholic, but I’ve also developed a pretty big Protestant bend about myself as well, and it has only grown more pronounced through age. Please also keep in mind that as a student of art history, I have even developed a lot of my own spiritual eccentricities - secularly/ cosmetically/ metaphorically/ though by no means ritualistic. Rather, a routine that is perfectly imperfect, constantly in flux, and a little rough around the edges.
The one thing I truly desire anyone to have is FAITH in the FREEDOM that the United States of America was founded upon - so even if you are reading any of this from the perspective of being traditionally persuaded by Judaism, or even Islam: please take it all with a grain of salt, as it were. Shoutouts to all the Hindu, Buddhists, & Taoists as well 🇺🇸
The only thing I’m hunting is demons. Sometimes they exist within the realm of my own imagination; and these elaborations through my art or through my words often service as a personal format of exorcism.
Evil doers are a whole other story, of course, and that’s a task I firmly believe is best delegated to all the enlisted servicemen and women\ each civilian and military\ administrative or otherwise\ on the home front and abroad. They are the real vanguards of Liberty. All anyone else can do is keep a watchful eye and pray 🙏🏻
