Jeff Jahn kindly shot this photo of my piece, Teen Sweater Tabletop, on the right, and David Corbett’s The Dutchmen in the middle. From the show Southern/Pacific at Gallery Homeland in Portland.
In support of the Southern/Pacific exhibition at Gallery Homeland, Victor Maldonado interviewed David Corbett and me. It was a really great chat. We discussed some of the correlations between our work, our interests in the grey area between painting and sculpture, and in the grey area between finely-made and crudely-made objects. It’s also really nice to here David explain the meaning behind the title of his sculpture The Dutchman.
It was great fun being in the show with all these folks. Thank you Gallery Homeland, and thank you Victor for a fun interview.

I took photos of my studio in Portland. It’s always fun to see new work next to other work finished in the last few months.
Erik Jung projectile vomits on me, just the way I like. I believe this would make the perfect metal or hardcore album cover. If you would like to use it for your album cover or your cassette single (I know all you hipsters are in love with cassettes again these days) you can probably use it for free.
