    DIRGE (1994-2021)
    Genesis NFT on Foundation
    1994
    Youthful joy and love was overshadowed by the threat of the HIV/Aids pandemic. A time of great loss. Paralyzing fears. Abject loneliness. Momentary pleasures. Poetic imaginings. Youth. Longing. Mystery. Ambition. Wanting. Desires. The world outside was a swirling blur of all of this.
    2021
    A new pandemic has robbed us of time, space and loved ones.
    Looking out our windows we piece together an unknown future that lies before us, swirling the fog through which we pass.

    CORONACH (1994-2021)

    1994

    In a garden the portal stood.
    Thawing
    untold silenced voices.
    Unwitting Sirens,
    appeared at dusk.
    Peering memories
    in dawn’s light returned.
    Melting the mourning song.

    2021

    Familiar notes ring out.
    Echoes in the ether.
    Perhaps,
    simply,
    a new siren.

  • Heaven (1994-2021)

    Heaven (1994-2021)

    1994

    We were but children
    making beds
    together.
    Alarms yet to ring
    for us.
    Our time thereafter
    soon came,
    as the floor
    made way
    for graves.

    2021

    An empty bed
    waits
    to be filled
    again.
    Whilst walls
    sing memories.
    Whispered names
    of those
    almost
    forgotten.

    Running Late to Pilates

    What is blind vanity
    but as yet an untethered
    dream deferred.

    Forbidden River

    Amor omnibus idem.
    In sanguine fœdus.
    Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur.
    Sanguinis pretium sanguis.
    Amor est spiritus qui nos alet.
    Cruento. Amor donatum
    Amor omnibus idem.

    Love is the Same for All
    A covenant ratified in blood
    We choose to love, we do not choose to cease loving
    Blood is the price of blood
    Love is the breath that sustains us
    Stained with blood. Bestowed in love.
    Love is the Same for All

  • REVENANTS OF OUR FATHERS

    REVENANTS OF OUR FATHERS

    A meditation on gay socio cultural behavior and art history. By referencing a seminal “readymade” and public locations for male cruising, I’m contextualizing “Fountain” R. Mutt aka Marcel Duchamp as an origin "father" for contemporary art with generations of gay men as "fathers", elders, mentors and artists lost to the HIV/Aids pandemic. Cruising for sex, art and death, intertwine time, place, identity and impermanence stitching them together. The bells toll on.

    Transcribed Reliquaries
    Apparitions of time and place. A fragment of space. An impermanence archive.
    -Transcription: to put (thoughts, speech, or data) into written or printed form.
    -Reliquary: a container for holy relics.
    A contemplation. An observance. A document. A reliquary. A containment. A vessel.
    About this work:
    Genesis piece for my 'Transcribed Reliquaries' project.
    Documenting impermanence, coded vernaculars, identity, time and place.
