Old Work

I did these drawings back in late June of 2012, after reading about and having my own experiences with shadow people.  Shadow people are believed to be spirits that have not fully crossed over into the next realm of existence-or the afterlife depending on ones' personal beliefs.  They are black, shadowy figures seen out of the corner of people's eyes.  After reading about them, I realized when I was little I used to see them in windows-if they were actually shadow people-I think everyone probably does/did. I don't believe they are evil, but rather troubled spirits who need help passing on.

My experiences this past summer when I made these drawings culminated-in my mind- and passed when an albino california king snake slithered into the foundry where I used to work. He was an allegory.

This past January I was lucky enough to be visiting friends and saw Huma Bhabha's work at the MOMAPS1. Her work was very inspiring-like pieces out of my dreamscapes.  Relics of a recent apocolyptic, catastrophic event, trying to find their way back together again.

 

In Islam shadow people are thought to be jinn-or genies in a western sense.
