Can you discuss your connection to surrealism?
I actually don’t have a very strong connection to surrealism. I understand why you might think that though. I am influenced…
I’m going to be a part of a projection show in Los Angeles next week entitled “New Research,” curated by Stephanie Gonot. Other artists include Asger Carlsen, Carson Fisk-Vittori, Jamie Warren, Jason Lazarus, Graham Walzer, Nathanael Turner, and more.

I have some books of new work for sale at Edicola, an exhibition of artist’s books organized by Colpa Press, in San Francisco…
Colpa Press Presents Edicola
Opening March 15, 2012
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-6pm
At the corner of Market & 6th, San Francisco, CA
Colpa Press will partner with the Central Market Street Revitalization Program to create a venue for artist books, prints, and albums, on the corner of Market and 6th St. Edicola is dedicated to providing a platform for emerging artists to reach their community through support from the public and by repurposing a kiosk that would otherwise be vacant. The stand will feature artists and musicians, both local and international, who work with the print format. It will focus on work that pushes the independent publishing envelope, through creative strategies of printing paired with high concept work.
