Reminder that i’m digitally tabling at the @vancouverartbookfair till next Tuesday! The online shop will then wind down slowly and re-open early next year.

Introducing referent 2 by #jabscollabs

Excited to be tabling at @vancouverartbookfair starting next Monday till the 26th! There’s a live component so I’ll be hanging out to chat some nights in the evening.

Philip’s response to my question prompt: “Draw three anime characters like they went through a blender.”

“I grew up being told who I am and what I can be; These things live at the intersections of racism and homophobia. I am really interested in assembling a lexicon and vocabulary of visual iconography that reoccurs to hypothesize about myself. A lot of times, I am looking for value in things I was told were not important.”

“My entry point to a lot of my work is usually popular imagery and defined aesthetic of an era. I am interested in presenting counter-narratives of how time is framed. For example, the 70s with the Civil Rights movement and the 80s AIDS crisis, what gets carried over aesthetically from those time periods are romanticized icons; the glitz and glamour of boogie nights and MTV. Those things become indicative of the mainstream zeitgeist, and I am looking for value in these things that are considered lowbrow, ugly or cringe in the scope of fine art.”
