"you are the circus, i am the freak"

(lovage: book of the month)

my brooklyn college residency is officially over :(






so while in between studio spaces (and while in a state with lighter restrictions on explosive materials) i've finally indulged my desire to physically collide two life-long passions:

1. making art on canvas
2. fireworks






can't decide if this is totally juvenile or totally genius. all i know is i'm excited! special thanks to my partner in crime, steven b cold. some raw footage..





and the result of this first attempt..

MEMORY PALACE (revisited)

PDF includes exhibition statement by Adam Thompson as well as selected works and artist statements of everyone included.
