"OFFERING"

basin street cemeteries — new orleans

this figure holds a single flower outward. in cemetery sculpture the flower is not decoration but an offering — a life cut short but still remembered by the living.

standing below the vault you meet the gesture almost at eye level, as if something is being handed back across time.

the painting follows that exchange rather than the monument itself.

"OH CRAP, I THINK I LEFT THE IRON PLUGGED IN"

basin street cemeteries — new orleans

it wouldnt be complete if i didnt add some of my irreverent humor.

some figures mourn, others keep watch, and some accompany. while others have an expression of exasperation . . .

this pair shows the moment of passage — the veil lifted rather than the body buried; that, or the realization of something undone . . . like an appliance left on . . .

in a city where the dead are raised above the waterline, the imagery moves upward instead of downward. the sculptures are less about ending than es**rt.

i painted it from below where the figures meet the sky, holding that brief sense of movement rather than stillness.

"ORPHANED"
in st. louis cemetery no. 1 the stories are kept as much by memory as by record.

guides have long told of a family lost at sea in the gulf of mexico — a voyage that never returned, leaving only a single surviving child and a monument built for those who vanished.

this figure is one of the sleepers in those corridors — not an angel of triumph but of absence. new orleans has always lived with water, and many of its graves hold people who were never buried in the ordinary way.

i painted it as a companion piece — a presence for those who were expected home.

"WHERE ARE YOU NOW?"

st. louis cemetery no. 1 in new orleans

many of the figures there were carved in italy and shipped across the gulf in the late 1800s, but the city slowly collaborates in the sculpture — heat, storms, candle smoke, and moss repaint them over time.

this figure leans against a cross. in the narrow corridors of the cemetery the light drops almost straight down, so the faces appear and disappear depending on the hour.

i work from those moments — not the monument itself, but when it briefly feels inhabited again.

"SUPPLICANT"

st louis #2

just outside the french quarter, the city built its necropolis above ground, a response to water that refused to keep the dead buried. over time the plaster cracks, the brick shows through, and the structures feel less like monuments and more like inhabited buildings.

this small guardian sits on a corner vault in the open air sections beyond the oldest cemetery. i was drawn to the way it faces outward — less mourning than watching the street beyond the walls.

the painting keeps that threshold feeling: a figure placed between the living city and the interior silence.
