This is all over the blogs since this morning (I'm sure) and I hate posting press releases that have clearly been blank emailed to about a million people but how could I not be interested for the work of JOSH KEYES.

“My work often contains a hybridization of concepts and imagery that express global concerns about ecological, political, and militarism issues. I try to create work that fuses my personal mythology and imagery with these concerns. The result is a continuous and evolving pattern of fragmented imagery that slowly unfolds and folds like a patchwork quilt. The work functions for me as a record of both my personal history and interpretation of events in the world.” – by Oakland-based artist JOSH KEYES.
