Please Take A Seat



















I apologize for the missing video. Unfortunately, the link to Youtube will not play and for some reason it will not download to this page. I am currently working on this issue. However, this is a site specific piece. It was done at Myrtle Beach. The spheres are actually ice balls with Christmas lights in the inside. I used a few wooden 2x4's, copper wire and some found grass along the beach.

In a moment, we awake and feel as if we can conquer the world. In one moment, we can feel as if we have liberated ourselves from our mental bondage. There is a moment, when we decide to clean out our emotional closet and let go of the things that just don't fit. There is that moment, when we use invasive actions to remove an malignant forces that hinder our progress.

However, those moments are preceded by some act of carelessness, deceit, thievery, abuse, maltreatment that derails us from reason. Something, at that time seemed uncontrollable, irresistible, unobtainable, unsustainable. A choice was made, under certain situations that summoned the wrath of all that is evil. Leaving you ass out! And in those moments, we fill everything but liberated, empowered, and capable. Our intelligence has left the building.Then, after the drama ends and the dust has settled. We look to the horizon as we laugh and say to ourselves, "It's not that serious".

This is a piece dedicated to the choices that we make. This is my first video installation. I know that the lighting is not good, but this was the first time I actually worked with video and editing equipment. I decided to post this one because this is the first of many videos that I will post and I would like to share with you the my progress with each video. I know that the beginning of this commentary was some what heavy but it's not that serious.
