New updates in the art section. I started a studio residency at the Lower East Side Printshop. Which in fact is more accurately located in times square as opposed to the lower east side. Go figure. Times square is like Las Vegas.... on the east coast. Or something ridiculous like that.

Free will and individual character are major tenets to the american identity. They are also outdated.
In an age of explorers the power of the individual was real. Blank areas existed on the map and wilderness was a force shaping humans identity. With the death of wilderness and the birth of the nature channel, the curiosity that drove exploration has removed natures unknown. The great planes are now farms and gas stations. The rockies are skiing and american beer (canadian owned). Less populated areas are still populated. National parks have traffic jams. As an outdoor guide, I've done my part as an 21st century-commercialized version of an explorer to expose wilderness, highlight adventure, and leave nothing left. But this wilderness I expose has cell phone reception, I wake up to logging trucks, planes, motor boats, snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, cabellas, nature is to be shot and consumed, there's very little left. We've gotten rid of on of the strongest foundations in american identity, it happened so quickly.
We are living the effect of looking too intensely at individual character and not at our collective relationship to the environment. Masses of people, the collision of space+ creation of form, movement, energy, architecture, motion, surreal realities, visual displays of history all give us glimpses forward. Free will dissolves into collective responsibility as individual character has given way to a global reality. Wilderness has become a weather report and we continue explore and consume.
