Books IIII
One thing about BooksIIII is that he does not like writing of himself in third person or over sensationalizing his position. Therefore, my greatest influence over the years has been my family’s history and collections. As more and more of my family members die, more pictures, art, scrapbooks, and vintage books / periodicals are sent my way. There is nothing more important to me than to be surrounded by my family’s vast history.
Never the less, graffiti is a huge influence, but what has become my greatest interest are the most rotten get ups, beautiful hand styles, and the aging process. The layering the streets attain reminds me of my grandmother’s scrap booking and these simple methods are what I have taken for myself as style.
The greatest project I have embarked on has been Blackbooks, A contemporary laser fabrication company that is partnered up with Andrew Black. Blackbooks has recently become represented artists over at Miami’s infamous Spinello Gallery. Through this outlet, Black and myself showcase our private works and installations. This year’s submission for scion installation 4 is heavily based on the beauties of the hand style and is a direct influence from our work together as Blackbooks.
