Three Poppies
Archival pigment prints and mixed media black & white photographs.
Inspired by my very earliest impression of art, the epic rose mural on the Rose Cafe in Venice, California.
In a Secret Garden
This series, entitled Three Poppies, includes a California Poppy, a Matilija Poppy and a Bread Seed Poppy and evokes a story of sickness and healing that hearkens back to the place of my birth.
Born and raised in Los Angeles and Ojai, from the wild Venice Beach of the late 70s and 80s, I love the ocean and the mountains, roller skating and giant colorful murals. These are my inspiration and my origins. Yet, forever, people said, you don't seem like you are from LA. You should move to New York. And it's a little bit true. I'm inspired by Warhol and Mapplethorpe in my visual art and I am compared to Patti Smith in my music.
Stark, black and white, high contrast, minimalist, intellectual. And yet still, not quite New York either.
So I find myself in the middle and on the mountain, far out and yet plugged in. A place of contrasts and contradictions. A fusion of the places that created me and also utterly it's own.
