Running on Empty show moves to a new location

Buena Vista, VA

'Where' New York City

Holiday Handguns, Gun Show, KS

My Running on Empty Exhibition has now moved to another location.

For the next two months, until the end of October, It will be showing at Dunn Bros coffeehouse 87th St and Metcalf Ave, across the street from Borders Book Store in Overland Park, KS.

I will also be the featured artist at B-Studio in December where I plan to Exhibit the Running on Empty series in full. Apx 80 images. This will be a part of the First Fridays event in the Crossroads District in downtown Kansas City, MO.

I will post more information about this Exhibition at a later date.

Welcome

About the photographs: These images are a search for a personal orientation between the dream or idea of a place and my actual experience of it in reality. They can be described as a collection of psychic coordinate points which I have plotted between the imagined America I brought with me from England and the real America I found on my arrival in 2008. These images are half truth and half fiction. They are a psychogeography, filled with personal symbolism and tangled with influences so old they were already part of me long before this journey ever began.

A note about the title:  The compulsion to travel, to move from one place to another, has been with me my whole life. Whether it be local, national or international, I have always found myself either in motion or, if not, I have been dreaming about it. Paradoxically, it has been in the periods of dreaming that Agoraphobia, (which Google defines as “Extreme or irrational fear of entering open or crowded places, of leaving one's own home, or of being in places from which escape is difficult”) has gripped me and, at times, crippled me. These photographs are my continued (once secret) revolt against it in the United States of America today, despite recent quarantines.
