Alchemic Transmogrifier For Distressed Emotions

Where The Wilderness Evolves

Chrono-Particle Processor
Artist Statement
For my work I’ve created a concept called Fantastic Functionalism. This concept involves creating an alternative reality filled with objects and environments which are imbued with extreme idealism and hope. I look at everyday problems on a emotional, physical and social level and imagine new possibilities and solutions for them. I think of my work as the sketches or plans of a mad and naïve inventor creating fantastical machines, passageways, bus stops, transportation devices and shelter from a playground of transformed shapes and bright colors that stems from the ordinary.

Artist Biography
I paint because I feel I must urgently create a record. I am cataloging the significant people and scenes in my life. I am consumed by the idea that I have a limited time to express myself, or that I will not remember things the way they are now.
The subjects of my current work are the people in my community. I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and my friends and neighbors are glamorous, interesting and engaging. There is palpable electricity in my world and I want to capture it indelibly.
I paint on canvas using acrylics, casein, mica and gold leaf. I am fascinated with the way the Baroque painters captured extreme contrasts between light and dark using golds and blacks. I am working toward this goal with modern neon, pearl, metallic and mica colors.
I am self taught.

Bio
I graduated from Cooper Union in 2004, moved back uptown to my parents house and started a zine/blog about The Upper East Side called The UES Journal. I have worked part-time at Guild & Greyshkul Gallery on and off for the last five years.
Since 2000 I have been making chainmaille jewelry and recently launched a jewelry line called IMK. I also now maintain a blog about pigeons called The It-Pigeon, and a blog about Vanity Plates.
In 2008 I recorded my second album To Be Good for a Day with Mike Musmanno in DUMBO, Brooklyn. It will be available on iTunes January 28, 2009.

This song is “Untitled,” from Rebecca Schiffman’s sophomore album “To Be Good for a Day.”
