I don't want to die of exhaustion having tried to change a world that refuses to move, I would rather take my time and make a better world inside of it maybe, slightly underground if I can, if only for the people who I love and want to protect.

Install images from my solo show โ€˜the altar and the fleshโ€™. The show is up until Jan 11 at @ocdchinatown 75 East Broadway, open Saturday and Sunday and by appointment. Thank you to everyone who has already stopped by. Means so much to me for people to sit with the work.
