March 25th is Asshole Sunset, a solo exhibition at Sight School in Oakland, CA. It’s a rough-n-tumble new batch of sculptures and a few paintings, inspired by the sentiment of wishing that ‘The Rapture’ would hurry up and happen so that the fundamentalists would go away and let us talk sensibly about the future of the Earth. Expect bread, barbed wire blackberries, burnt things. Sight School is a fantastic alternative space run by my art hero Michelle Blade and the opening will be Saturday night. Asshole Sunset!

Signal Fire is accepting applications until April 1st for the three best weeks of my summer: two sessions of the Outpost Residency, and one action-packed backpacking trip through my favorite patch of Mount Hood National Forest. I do hope you can join us in the forest.

A push and pull relationship between old beliefs and new discoveries. The work in this show represents my reaches into the unknown, where we find no answers only comfort in our own search.“
