Puke and Cry

August 1 - 16, 2009
reception Thursday August 13, 6-11pm

Puke and Cry as cultural transmissions: a way of getting it out. The artist must, as Bataille would urge, take the experience of life and art to the limit. Image as metaphor, painting as a language of mark making-smoke signals that serve as access points to cultural symbolism and that complex connection which is consciousness. Puke and Cry is finding joy in the struggle of life and art. The creative/destructive urge.
