May 8th, 2017: Tortured Souls

[xoxoxoBruce]

“Tortured Souls” was a catch all term for people who are diagnosed with a shitload of strange named Syndromes today.
These people have trouble adjusting to the open office corporate world, often working at Wally mart or as wait staff.
The lucky ones can squeak by as a musician or artist. Lucky or not, they’re hearing a different drummer, and perceived as
nuts by those people who are emotionally stable, sometimes known as the 1%.

Counter culture? Here's one now...

Artist Statement
My work reflects the weird and the creepy. I am fascinated with the dark side.
In my current body of work, “Odd Things,” I’m using the ceramic medium to create my bizarre creatures. My animals have
extra body parts such as multiple arms, legs, teeth and ears. Clay allows me to create what’s in my head. These animals
with their small deformities help me express my sensitive side. A troubled childhood and constant “life” anxieties are all
expressed in “Odd Things.”

Sculpt what you know?



If you make a statuette of your nightmare and convince someone to buy it and take it home, does the nightmare go with it?
The Shadow knows.

This collection is on display in Philly right now. Arch Enemy Arts, May 5th through May 27.
