# About me

Does your dream come through the gates of horn or ivory?

The Oneiroi are the black-winged spirits of dream, born of Nyx (night) and brethren to Hypnos and Thanatos (sleep and death). Each night they emerge from darkness to rest upon the living as they slumber, and as they emerged, they passed through one of two gates. Oneiroi that passed through the gates of horn would bring dreams of prophecy, of truth. However, if the Oneiroi passed through the gates of ivory, they brought dreams of deceit, dreams without meaning.

My work is both a portrayal of dream-world imagery and a study of the psychological, sociological, and philosophical impacts thereof. Dreams have always been an important cultural phenomenon, whether from ancient shamans determining when the buffalo would arrive, to the beginnings of civilization’s myths, to Carl Jung philosophizing about the collective subconscious...

It's about time you finally put your thesis series up here. I got to see it while it was in the Canzani gallery. It was a great showing, good work.

I haven't put anything on here in over a year, and most of that was just some old work. I just keep this profile to keep up with other people now.

Haha, no shit, it's THE Jewish Jones! I'm back in Dallas for another week, but I was in the big city for this past semester. I'm actually going to the Columbus College of Art & Design (I have a year left) and the NY thing was kinda like a semester abroad.

Well, I'm going to CCAD for fine arts and just got accepted into the New York Studio Residency Program, which will be like a semester abroad. I ship off in a couple of days - so exciting! Never been to NYC before!

Where are you now? If you're close by, you should come see my big show in New York at the end of the semester!
