“You Are Here (The Town) is a completion of finely tuned draftsmanship, paintings/ drawings of daily life in a superficially functioning town. A town where beneath the surface lays deviant behavior, depression, poverty, addiction and violence. This is a town everyone knows, one that exists physically, and psychologically. The delicately rendered lines of the paintings are eerily saturated with bits of color and are presented along with chilling, yet playful dioramas. The diorama concept itself may conjure up memories of childhood activities and grade school projects, while the scenarios unfolding within illustrate a nightmarish small town story line one could simply hope to never experience first hand. On first impression the art is stunning and pleasing to the eye, yet when fully experienced, it’s not a lot unlike taking a journey into the mind of a child who is growing up to become a misanthropic sociopath.”-J.L. Denning, Invisible NYC, 2008
