Haunted Mill in New York
Donation protected
Hello Gang!
I hope everything happening in your world is very rad. I have some rad news to share with you.
I have been asked to create an installation for the"Haunted Mill and Monsters Ball" at the Wassaic Project!
Wow, thats a lot of title.. lemme clear it up some,
"Haunted Mill and Monsters Ball " is very much what it sounds like. A yearly event that features macabre art and artists.
The event is held at Wassaic Project .
Wassaic is a hamlet in the town of Amenia, tucked away between two ridges in upstate New York. It's a place suffused with history, but which lives wholly in the present. Artists come from all over the country to focus on their practice, interact with one another, and engage the community.
SOOOO I am super excited! This will be my first Exhibition outside of Atlanta. This will also be the largest installation I've ever conceived and created! so exciting AND scary!
I've thrown this campaign together to ask for your help in completing this ambitious installation!
My goal is to raise $3000. That figure goes to :
1) Materials, by far the biggest expense. The space has about 600 sq ft of wall space and ima cover it all!
This means i need yards and yards of fabric, mylar, gauze, and paper!I also need to purchase paints, spray paints, and sealers! AND LIGHTS! i am going to buy two portable LED lights to help fill the space!
2) Transportation, All of the pieces for the installation i am making here in Atlanta. I need a Uhaul and the gas to get the art and I to New York and back!
3.) Life stuff. I want to make sure my phone stays on and my dog gets fed while I am working on this project.
thank you for taking the time to hear me out.
Your support means that I will be able to put the care and attention into an installation that makes a lasting impression in a valued artistic space.
Every donation is sincerely appreciated! Every bit helps get us closer to finish!
Donations at $50 and up, will receive a 18"x 24", acrylic painting on paper
Donations $250 and up , will receive a relief on canvas (sizes vary/ are large!)
Donations $500 and up will receive an original mask from yours truly

"be excellent to each other"
My practice is primarily mask making, costume and performance. The work draws from a vocabulary of imagery from museum visits, psychedelic experiences, drag performance, festival culture and my background as musician. I work with found materials and brightly colored palettes to make participatory installations and objects waiting to be utilized for hell raising and revelry. My work has been exhibited in galleries and also used for dance performances and events. Let’s work together, let’s make a scene.
