The Screaming Man // 2022

          … The pose of this particular sculpture was decided based on the prompt of impact; I wanted the posture and expression to perhaps startle the viewer, to convey the sense of someone screaming for help and reaching out a hand in desperation. I wanted to make it visceral, for audiences to feel uneasy when they see it and get a rush of emotion that will remain with them even after they walk away.            Ideally, this sculpture would be shown in an area that is wooded, where one may not see it at first. It is that jolt of recognition of the human form that would catch the attention of any accidental audience members, that realization that somebody has been silently screaming for help right in the corner of your eye and you hadn’t even noticed. That it could have easily gone unnoticed and unheard, but now your attention is impossible to deny, that it is too late to plead ignorance without remembering what you saw, what cry for help you had no choice but to walk away from.           There is a meaning in that shame. It means something to me, and I know it means something to you as well. Something about guilt and helplessness and learned apathy, but I wish to let audiences decide what specific meaning it has to them. The type of impact is unique on the person, after all - at the end of the day, the screaming man is simply a man made out of sticks. Nothing more, nothing less. Not unless more is given, if one chooses to take the hand reaching out.

I love you folk music I love you drinking songs I love you sea shanties I love you work songs I love you lullabies that have helped send countless generations of children off to sleep I love you music the poor and non-white and oppressed used to fill their difficult lives with joy I love you protest songs and coded music that helped people escape to freedom and connect with each other and keep their cultures and languages alive I fucking love you "this machine kills fascists" I love you banjos and bagpipes and all those other instruments people love to hate I love you modern artists keeping these songs alive and writing new ones I love you people writing new folk songs for fictional worlds because even people who don't exist deserve to connect through song I love you queer artists finding themselves in ancient songs I love so so so much

The forest falls eerily silent. The air smells of humus, and dead grass, and ozone. You see a hole in the air that is shaped like an animal. The edge of the hole crackles like television static.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

people love to complain about sex scenes in tv shows and violence in movies when the real danger is scenes that make you feel second hand embarrassment.

The only thing you need to know about Tim becoming Robin is that he's the protagonist of a horse girl movie and Batman is the horse.
