Remembering my basement studio and this painting conglomerate now in storage that I lost all my photos of during a tech malfunction 💔
Had to repost this three times because instagram destroys photo quality

False Caliburn, 2026
Learning to be ok with not loving the look of every piece of work I make when I finish making it. Learning to accept some paintings as things I grow through. That it doesn’t have to be a magnum opus and that I am allowed to not quite like looking at the result while still growing so much from the process. I had a blast making this! And also got so mad at some points! What a privilege!

Apocalypse, 2025, Swipe for details, audio component in next post
The word Zombie is a derivative of Zonbi, which comes from the word “ndzumbi”, originating from the Mitsogho tribe in Gabon, West Africa. During the brutal French colonization of Haiti and subsequent slave trade, these terms became associated with stories of sorcerers who would give individuals poison to make them appear dead, only to remove their buried bodies, now under control of the sorcerer, and sell them into servitude in a far away land. William Buehler Seabrook, a former American solider stayed in Haiti for about a year, writing ‘The Magic Island’ which provided Americans the term “Zombie” and the fictionalized reinterpretations of Haitian stories from which American culture understands zombies today.
