Borders are a political construction, a human fabrication around geography, resources and power defined and re-defined through time by war, bloodshed and death. Borders are also a unifying construct that can bring people together and form deep bonds.
My community, my family, is comprised of individuals that live in places around the globe, across political and geographic borders. They are individuals that value creativity, risk, innovation. They are compassionate, hard-working people that want the best for themselves and for their friends and families.
In response to recent legislation and policy that seeks to reinforce the value of borders, I am inviting five individuals from diverse backgrounds to join me in becoming a part of a new community that re-contextualizes the notion of community relative to borders.
Each individual will have one word of the above quote permanently tattooed on their body. The artwork, the community, will only be complete when all six individuals are together to complete the narrative of the text of the quote. The work will be displayed in Long Beach, California in March and in Phoenix, Arizona in April.

"As an artist of modern times, understanding himself and the world through color, defining the meaning of originality Chor Boogie is one of many masters that leads this pioneering craft of spray paint in its diverse art form."

Downtown Art Walk
DOWNTOWN ART WALK (shot entirely on the Canon 5D and 7D).
The Downtown Art Walk is a free self-guided tour that happens the second Thursday of every month exploring the area of Downtown Los Angeles designated as Gallery Row. It began in September of 2004 and has grown prodigiously since. This video recounts an evening of those who come to appreciate the galleries, street fairs and the music that make up its ambiance.
Special thanks to the the Art Walk Board members, Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council, gallery owners, the artists (Sean Sobczak and Chor Boogie, especially), Vincent Gillioz (for his excellent score), Chris Saul (for his cinematography), and Diane Grajeda (for her title design).
