Mexican beer and amber lights,
sushi tanning skirt flies shoving
money in their tights
So-Cal Mexi-Cali where the thousand
cities lye,
and where the million pretty people,
watch the other million die-
and where the money from the gas
goes to the people in the cars,
who own the houses on the cliffs
that from the pueblos look like stars.
where the heart attack lies well
beneath the tender cleavage sight,
and where the heart shaped box
is savage in the alleys of the night.
About Me
- Joseph R. Reeves
- Having been an Integrated Studio Arts major, I tend to be very focused on the process, and concept of my work. I tend to first consider my concept, and than analyze my options in medium, and let my process develop somewhere in between. My concepts are drawn from a dramatic variety of sources, but are most often never "drawn," but instead, shaped through my avid writing practice or physical experimentation with different mediums. Many times, the concept can be as minimal as just experimenting with a material, and in a relative likeness to much of my work- it can be very much about testing the boundaries of something. Theories of deconstructionism tend to relate to much of my conceptual work, whether it be deconstructing elements of social perception or semiotics; or more literally, in deconstructing conventional processes or materials. My personal tendencies in process, are reflective of my life and persona. Compulsive behavior and the intensity of my work ethic, seem to also reflect in my work. No matter what, the final product is expressed with a sense of wit, originality, and innovation.
