An Orthodox Diptych featuring Hunter Biden & Noelle Bush. Two children of two politicians, One Democrat, One Republican, Both Addicted to Crack. The Diptych is set next to an orthodox cross and beeswax candles, simulating the traditional mode of offering in the Greek Orthodox Church, the denomination I was baptized into. Traditionally the candles would be set in a tray of sand, in this variation they sit in Himalayan pink salt surrounded by a wall of selenite crystals. Giving reference to American pseudo-spirituality. When installed, the music of John Hinckley Jr. plays. John Hinckley Jr. is the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, the president who heavily pushed the criminalization of crack. The Biden and Bush families both have ties to the support of this bill.

Installed at ‘The Onion’ at The Crypt Gallery.

I am working to unionize religion, spirituality, radical politics, and entertainment to create a folkloric, hyper-explicity, semiotic language of new expression. Marrying the God-fearing with the Internet Atheist, and letting them honeymoon at a puppy mill. Inviting folklore and darkness to your life by acculmulating deep-web mystery boxes. Replenishing faith and spirit by joining the nearest Mega Church. Signing the national anthem while merging Easten Orthodox with Happy Science. I strive to use semantics to attach the sinners to the saved and piece together the political and religious hegemony that work to divide. I am studying cultural phenomenon, and the monument, whilst debating the separation of church and state. I am searching for reverence in the irreverent and devoting myself to falsely inferior lifestyles. I am inbreeding hegemony and impotence. I am a Minnesotan pre-teen laughing, then crying, the laughing again through this self-perscribed Vision Quest to give reverence to American Mythologies and Cultural Phenomenon as a whole.
