Joel P West and The Tree Ring at Bonnaroo

Two weeks ago Ford Motor Company sent our band, Dave Brown, and Zack Nielsen to Tennessee to experience the madness of Bonnaroo and play some music in their Ford Fiesta Garage. We knew that festivals are generally known for crowds, drugs, and accommodations that resemble those of a developing country, but we did not have any idea how far the words loud, hot, crowded, and a lot of other uncomfortable adjectives could be taken. There were some long hours in the heat but all in all, the nice people responsible for the Ford Fiesta Garage took really good care of us and we had an amazing weekend together. Read More...

Exist 1981 : Sewer Beasts

We were hidden from the sight of the city as we crept through lavender lit tunnels that gleamed with the colorful evidence of those that had created in that secret place. We had gathered everything we would need for the adventure, all the paints, brushes, rollers, wheat paste, posters and whatnots. We had illumination and a strong sense of purpose as we braved the wet underground infrastructure beneath America’s finest city. We would be journeying through a system of tunnels with the goal of reaching a large chamber at the end of those low-lit, vibrant tubes. Read More...

David Adey : John Henry

Though nomadic in medium, the work of David Adey is consistent in concept in and the evident time and process behind it. A college professor at Point Loma Nazarene University, he works full-time as an artist between graduation and freshman orientation and this year his summer goal was to suspend a row of books between two walls with minimal support. Tests were conducted in PLNU’s Keller Gallery towards a final process, which was followed in a matter of days for the piece’s debut last week at La Jolla’s Athenaeum Library. Read More...
