LA Is Trying To Kill Me April 20-22, 2018 Bloody Gums Collective brings its group exhibition to Superchief Gallery in downtown LA. Featuring the work of over 150 local artists.

“A collection of images exploring the lifestyle of excess in LA.”

Showcasing my first bisensory immersion installation. Considering the innumerable examples of excess in this city, I chose to focus on the lifestyle of vice; one which LA nurtures and offers in abundance. This piece features a collection of 300 images shot within a year’s span between 2016 and 2017. They are slivers of LA’s party and nightlife culture. A culture which reigns supreme across many different industries and demographics, is often idolized, and in effect may be considered immortal.

The sequence of images are coupled with a musical track. One that is a universal expression of the offered environments. The track and sequence play on ad infinitum, much like the insatiability depicted.

Spontaneity is a glorious thing. Last week, with little to no notice, I hosted a free pop-up portrait marathon; opening my doors for friends to come have their photo taken, to connect, experiment, and most of all, get creative and expressive. The resulting wave of authenticity and positive energy that barreled before my lens exceeded any of my expectations. View the images from the day's session here. Big thanks to all that took part.
