Black Market in Seattle

I've been super busy lately--I'm leaving on Tuesday for Seattle for a few days to install my solo show at James Harris Gallery...If you're in the area, stop by and say hi! I'll be showing photographic prints, sculpture, and a video projection all dealing with issues of cultural and economic "black markets"--unauthorized and resistant buying, selling, and shopping between the First and Third Worlds. "Body Double (Platoon)" uses edited video footage from the Vietnam War movie "Platoon" to literally block out all the scenes of the American war to focus in on the landscapes and backgrounds (shot in the Philippines, my place of birth, it becomes a metaphoric "home movie" of sorts). You can view the works at my art website, if you can't make it to the show!
