Inevitably, projects begin to intersect. In the midst of the work that I continue to work on, my life dictates the work that I perform and execute. In 2007 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. My work took a back seat. There was a most evident threat: cancer, our lives, [...]

Darkness {failed light}
December 2, 2009 – 8:30 pm
It is not the darkness that I am afraid of
it is living in the darkness forever
the darkness is happy to have me
and I am happy to have it
the light is the miser I can never negotiate
I will never hold on long enough to make it so
there is nothing I can say to take back [...]
Day 5: Failed Poems Project {contemplation}
November 15, 2009 – 12:03 pm
I’ve talked with another artist friend about this project and he suggested that I look at Art Brut. Although I have had training, I still feel lost in a world that seems to have no place for me. So the question remains, why do I even bother? Because at a certain point it comes down [...]

In addition to the Failed Poems Boxes, there is also a Failed Poems [Framed]. These are images on plexi that will overlap one another in order to create depth. The image First Layer: Simple Bilateral Mastectomy [unfinished] is a dividing cancer cell which will be framed an inch in front of the Second Layer: [...]
Progress: Failed Poems Project, Day 1

First day…. It was tough to just get everything together. I was able to put together 4 boxes. It took all day. I realize that I am going to have write something for the inside of the boxes. I also thought of dropping a clear piece of plexi through the middle of the box, perpendicular [...]
