would love to do a bruce-nauman inspired installation with Christmas lights. love this holiday lite brite greeting below (uncertain who it is by):

perhaps use a poem from the past (2007) for some "lyrics" for the piece:


Struck

My body flashes
...and the film unravels

My brain flashes --
And the lightening kills me

My brain flashes
And the techno won't slow down.

Etch-a-Sketch

Sleepy Hollow, 2003


Colloquial Chimes, 2007

some old pen & ink work - the first, "Sleepy Hollow," is my final project from my first class as a UVA art student - definitely time consuming work! and i had to hang out in the graveyard by my dorm to complete it... !!!

the damsel in the bed drawing/painting, "Colloquial Chimes," is the result of some actual old school ink-pen work I experimented with my fourth year upon the suggestion of my professor - would actually like to go back into it and add some more detail...
