Remembers is our dedication to our young boy who left us this morning. His father and I are heartbroken. Please pay your respects to our son by gently petting him.

The show straddles a thin line between the sacred and profane. I am specifically interested in emotional confusion. Death, and its enshrinement, is just as sentimental an occasion as it is ridiculous, almost tacky in the act of memorialization. Taking cues from cinematic and religious imagery, a dark scene lies hidden beyond a “hook" baiting the viewer into unwittingly attending a funeral. The result is bizarre; a Las Vegas-like surreality.
