From Texas artist Jeff Crouch...part1...
...we have been working on things together since 2006 - or earlier... no, we have never met in person. He sends poetry, music and images, many ideas... so being Easter and all, a very colourful day in the world of solar consciousness and Jeffs's images like psychedelic easter eggs...I figured we'd start this holiday with Jeff's work - with SideShow Kids. From ShadowMaster 2009 series, 'on the road with performers of an American traveling medicine show.' Adapted from Jeff's poem 'Sideshow Kids.' I used a lot of his images in vids, animations, as well as mail art - well, it's all mail art with our work.
Traveling medicine shows (late 1800's-early1900's) were part freak show, circus, runaways, ex-cons, snake oil elixir pitches, and hustlers, with roots in comedia d'el arte. Sometimes someone might read Shakespeare, or sing. Maybe.
Following are some recent images but I'll be pulling up waaaay more in the weeks, maybe they were used in animation or collaborations... but they are all over my black hole computer - insanity my office skills.
