Chrissy Jones uses two-dimensional surface, sculpting with graphite or dissecting eye, to manifest fantasy, alterations of reality and slumber, riding alpha waves of technique. Reflection, deformation, filtration, theatrics, and appropriation play their role in the process. Manically meticulous and masterful, spontaneous or calculated, her work surrounds the spectator with finely formed worlds filled with mania, anxiety, humor, horror.
• Chrissy Jones' music video for Humanbeast - "Chandelier"
(Providence)
Entrepreneur behind Wasp Video Roadhouse; magician of mutated mythologies (Russian Tsarlag, Slime Freak); raging-sea entertainer (Byron House, Hepatitis Youth); director of "home movies" (Bazic Street, Crystal Ball), the likes of which twist genre and morph vernacular. Carlos Gonzalez directs a demented "peanut gallery" of questionable characters and unusual archetypes: a carnival barker, a proprietor of a diner on the side of a lonely highway, a shady realtor, a heroine whose rise and fall are consequences of a suit, and more.
