Member type: Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Photography

I am...: looking for a dealer with an irrational passion for art and artists.

About my artwork: Pineal Gland series (artist statement)

Fluoride (poison), Religion (Vatican), Governments (Illuminati), Pine Cones (pineal gland), REM Sleep, Technology (programming), Five Pointed Stars (pentagrams), Identity(real id), the F.D.A.(corrupt science),Tight Control(Federal Government),the Sun (worship) and inter-dimensional time travel (via the self) are the issues I’m concerned with in this series of photographs that exploit the use of symbols, every element within each image is in service to the symbol (message), documenting some-thing with it’s many and seemingly unrelated arms connected to one alpha and omega source in transition to a new age, a new world, a new order. This work is an effort to wake myself up from a deep and long slumber inside of the tangible hologram with its invisible beginnings, keeping me distracted with perceptions that prevent me from seeing the end (its borders).After discovering the spell of light and it’s manipulation on the human condition is when I awoken from my dream feeling exposed and vulnerable but infused with insights that allow me to get closer to the man that paid for his freedom with truth and lies disguised as myth and history.

At 9:55am on 3rd July 2008, FLORIO POZZA said…: Dear Corey, thank you for your deep, sensitive and sensible comment on my artwork; the same deep sensitivity that runs through your artworks!

At 12:32pm on 22nd May 2008, 221019613112 said…: It is nice to read there are other people who try to go beyond aesthetic exercises and understand the void between reality and our frame of perception. The reactions of the viewers on M.O.B. went from anger to disapproval, but always in total denial of their own prejudices and expectations. I saw your pictures and found them interesting, a while ago I made paintings that were based on the vicarious identification. And your works of "shadow-people" turn that concept inside out by making it an even darker invitation to the viewers own personality.
