Intermission

Intermission is an uncommon and refreshing excavation of popular culture, memory, and relationship. It offers startling interpretations of the fashionable sitcoms and young-adult novels which were prevalent during the late 1970s while exploring the nuances of belonging, faith, and loss. With a tensile gesture we are moved from the icons of the 1960s Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and the playful insertion of Jim Morrison s documented acronym of his own name, Mr. Mojo Risin to the cityscapes inherited by Generation X:

& they became icons worn to waste behind our mothers
& our fathers like a cityscape, like a black & white photograph,
like a muted reflection, like a background of a lost era,
like a misplaced decade, like a shaky foundation which has shaped the minds of my own generation.

intermission is peopled with a richness of character and stories that move from one piece to the next. It is a still and revealing inquiry into the elastic sense of memory. Striking and astounding, this collection of work is a luminous reflection on loss the loss of childhood, adolescence, relationship, and life.
