A mix of doodles and comic strips, photography, writing, and/or lack of sanity.
I have so much random food left over from my birthday bbq i.e. 800 shish kabobs and I dunno what to do with it all.
Someone come over and eat it

Alice in Wonderland in Real Life
Created by artist Robert Therrien for the newly opened Metropolitan Arts Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Looks like you drank the wrong potion.

In Silence by Chiharu Shiota
Though the piece echoes sketch-like imagery, it is in fact an installation piece involving a burnt piano in a room ravaged by black wool…inspired by Shiota’s own traumatic memories as a child, having witnessed her neighbor’s house burn down. The charred piano is a direct memory of her neighbor’s grand piano blazed up in smoke.
05/15/1991 - is a project I just started last week so this is a first draft.
In the past year, I found out from my mom that my dad, who was a priest, cheated on my mom while she was pregnant with me. He went to heavily prostituted areas all the while my mom had to take care of me. When she found out, my father broke down and was sent to a psychiatric ward. My mom walked to the hospital herself when she gave birth to me.
After learning about this, I created a project where I shot photos that are revisiting moments that led up to my birth. 1.) The hospital that my mom walked to herself to give birth to me (I was born premature) 2.) A prostituted-area that I suppose my father went to 3.) The area where my father beat my mother for the first time.
Each of these clothes, belong to my mother, my father, or myself. They were thrown in the air individually and composited together. I wanted to remove the human body from this recreated memory to make the viewer and myself as distant as I felt as I was not even born to experience these moments leading up to my birth. I also visualized them suspended in the air, to give life to them and let them flutter in the air on their own.
Please let me know your guys’ feedback, it means the world to me!
Best,
Ben
