‘When we have each other we have everything’
November 1 – December 13, 2025
Dracula, gas station, rats, sponge, family, thistle, whirlpool.
The paintings: layers upon layers of references — motif, color, technique, format, projection.
Watching images all day until they burn into the retina, saved and then printed on foil for the overhead projector, which beams them onto the canvas.
It’s all been there before, and it keeps on living, and living, and so on. Pictures made of copies, samples, and loops — mashed together from fragmented parts into a Frankenstein with oil veins and sunglasses.
The past says hello to the present and slowly molds away.
The reference sits like an afterhour guest at the kitchen table.
Ghosts of canvas, captured, stretched on wood, painted over with make-up.
The paintings don’t tell a linear story; rather, they reflect the fragmentary nature of thought when trying to reconcile life, death, and everything in between.
I think a few of the paintings are still a bit wet (don’t tell Tobias).
Sucking culture dry and trying to get the things out of your head that pile up there.
I am Dracula and I welcome you to my house.
I must apologize for not being here to greet you personally,
but I trust you’ve found everything you needed.
