Lean times over here after flooding and some work that fell through. So I’m trying something a bit different to raise funds. I’ve posted a new-to-the-internet short story, “Without Faith, Without Law, Without Joy,” to Medium. The story appeared in the anthology RAGS AND BONES alongside...

Title: LURK (the glorified stranger)
Date: 2012-2014
Statement:Â Humans perform odd rituals when visible to others. We cling to privacies offered by clothing and physical margins while proximity and intimacy are inseparable in the public sphere. Photographs of crowded streets are static cross-sections of this dissonance, displaying a space-time swarming with minimized human interaction. Curious about my own occupation of this realm, I examined previously taken photographs of myself in communal settings, and looked closely at the backdrop of unintended bystanders.Â
Here I found the 6 subjects of this painting series. They are real people, lurking in the backgrounds of my photos. Looking into the camera as I did, they unknowingly created visual interruptions of the urban ego. I glorify our compulsive and false obliviousness to one another by replicating their faces at the unified instant of looking. LURK is ultimately a means to gain agency over the tremendous human landscape: ever sneezing, whispering, and walking within eye and earshot. I would like us all to consider our public habits and surroundings, and adjust our appraisal of the anonymous neighbor as a threat to its anonymity.Â

The Abandoned Sanzhi UFO Houses
These colorful flying saucer-style buildings, located in the Sanzhi district of New Taipei City in Taiwan, were built in 1978 but were forsaken before anyone ever stayed in them. They were originally targeted towards U.S. military officers stationed in East Asia who were on leave, but investment losses and deaths due to accidents during construction caused the project to be abandoned in 1980. The misfortune of the UFO houses is said to have been caused by the unfortunate act of bisecting the Chinese dragon sculpture located near the resort gates for widening the road to the buildings, cursing the project.
For almost thirty years, these strange pod-like structures were left to crack, crumble and decay due to acts of nature and vandalism. Smashed, broken buildings and debris were all that remained of Pod City. It’s sad that such unique architecture and design was never enjoyed by any residents. Unfortunately, this favorite of urban explorers and travelers no longer exists.
The UFO houses were demolished in 2008. A petition to try and save at least one of the buildings failed. Apparently a new beach resort and water park are being developed in its place. Looking just like pop culture depictions of alien space pods, they were at least around long enough to serve as a minor tourist attraction and a ghost town for urban explorers. They provided a glimpse of a retro future that morphed into ruins from the future
