“Solitary Transcendence” (images of people alone)
Artist Statement;
Through random circumstance some years ago, I found myself in relationships with Filipiino or Pinay (the Tagalog term) cam girls alone in their rooms some 6500 miles away. Over time their lives and images combined with those of local people and graffiti to become the focus of this project.
Themes of distant emptiness, longing and survival naturally course through many of the images here, often with some Seattle graffiti overlaid on top.
All flashes of color came about from natural malfunctions in a very stressed printer. The images are collage on wood under epoxy resin with steel closet supports as the frames.
I have been doing art in Seattle for 15 years, used to live in SE Asia and in the recent past ran ERAC Galleria, an art collective for homeless/mentally ill in Belltown.
