Artist Statement

They’re eating the proud boys!
I don’t consider my opinions extreme. Now that there is a loud voice for radicalism, what has been normal values throughout my life is now deemed radical. It’s not. Obviously no one is eating the J6 proud boys. But these boys have been given everything they’ve ever wanted carte blanc. 

Privacy Obsession
An abstract ambiguity of patriotism and privacy has been created. Palantir has been enabled to confiscate all of your info.

The Golden Age [redacted]
In reference to any idea that America is experiencing a Golden Age, there was a birthday letter between two powerful men where the word enigmas was symbolically used multiple times. Enigmas is an anagram for gamines. Look it up. It’s gross. This “golden age” is a wanton grift of the  “Guilded Age” where the wealthiest assumed privilege over a subordinate working class. Not real gold. Look at the new decor of the Oval Office. 


Presented by the Jasper Project, The Degenerate Art Project II is the answer to an overwhelming request by artists and patrons of Jasper's inaugural Degenerate Art Project (July 2025) for an additional exhibition which will involve an open call for visual artists. This 3 week-long multidisciplinary arts event (Feb. 11–28 at Stormwater Studios) invites Midlands artists to respond to today's socio-political climate, and unite our local arts community—physically and in spirit—in support and solidarity during challenging times. Inspired by—and reclaiming—the legacy of the Nazi-labeled "Degenerate Art" of 1937, this project champions creative resistance and free expression through a visual art exhibition, featuring over 40 Midlands artists.
