The Body is a Horror
I haven’t shown any work in the US since mid-2018, so this feels like a good start to 2020!
@kitmills and @litttle_sisster included me in a group show that they organized and curated with @abcnorio. It’s about bodies, queerness, alienation, and revelry. Come and see us at Bullet Space in Alphabet City this month.
opening party: 1/10, 7-9pm
closing ceremony: 1/30, 7-9pm
I’m working on something big out of lots of little pieces. Come see it next Friday, the 15th! A Decalogue of Tenebrous Luminaries opens from 6-9 pm at 289 Meserole Street in Brooklyn, NY, with a performance by Dirty Churches at 8 pm.
Also featuring work by: Joshua Rosenblatt, Chris Rucker, Levi Haske, Eleanna Anaganos, Jenyu Wang, Patrick Neal, Richard Schwamb, norton, Hazel Lee Santino, Chris Ketchie

Last night I was in a little group show put together by the same friends as Reading Paintings in April (again utilizing the bare walls and empty space of an apartment just moved-out-of). This one was called In My Room, roughly inspired by the Beach Boys song, and with the requirement that each piece be monochromatic in a shade of blue selected by hostess Rachel Levit.
I was out of town until the day before, and finally got to sit down and make a piece yesterday about two hours before leaving for the show. After starting several really terrible tiny paintings, I made a three-dimensional cut-paper, wire and gouache life-sized cockroach glued on a pin so he stuck right into the wall. My friend bought it at a bar before it even made it to the show (where I hadn’t confirmed that I was bringing a piece, so I got to just sneak it up…)
Neighboring paintings featured are by Hannah Lee (first, last) and Jordin Isip (third, fourth), and a collaborated between the two (second). The mutual inclusion of nearly identical cockroaches was a happy fluke.
And then while deinstalling Reading Paintings the next afternoon, someone slipped this constructive criticism under the door…
(Photos from the show’s opening night.)
Two of my mini Metrocard paintings (Honey on the Lips and The Recluse) are still available from Single Fare–this is the last week the show is up, and a ton of great work is available to buy both online and in person! Stop by RH Gallery (137 Duane St.), 11-7 p.m. Tuesday-Friday to be totally overwhelmed by 2500+ art pieces.
