Artist statement on ANALOG ROULETTE:

“Within an era of instant gratification there is the digital camera. Amongst this digital frenzy there lays a cult of photographers who still prefer the process of film. It’s these individuals who continue to keep this art form alive. From candid to conceptual captures there is a mystery in every roll of film. Though film photography is a medium for the masses and not only for camera savvy individuals, it’s a classic method of book marking one’s life.

The unforgivingness of film photography is equal to free hand stencil cutting, making the art forms both attracting and challenging. When a piece is removed to create an image there is no going back, just as the shutter of the camera closes when a photo is taken. By applying the beauty of both photography and stenciling this exhibition presents unique pieces of work.”

Damian Jim brings to life his retelling of a Hero archetype envisioned by every culture around the World.  

In all of these classic tales, the heroes must take a mystical journey that imbues them with power to overcome the forces they face.  A magical talisman, or arcane knowledge is gained, the protagonists become a force for good and with every battle a decisive victory is won. Undefeated the Heroes return and provide for their kin.

Music by one of the leading and most talented in Phoenix RIGHT Now:

DJ BYRON FENIX

ByronFenixVinyl

“Byron Fenix, senior producer and host of the weekly radio program Soul Deluxe, as well as a resident DJ at SoChu House in Phoenix, Arizona, is not your average mix DJ.  “I started collecting music by recording it on a cassette player,” he laments.  A native of Phoenix, Byron is soul music’s most unlikely ambassador.  Born to a Navajo father, and a half Hopi, half Navajo mother, he learned early on to appreciate diversity, not just in the music he collected, but in his everyday life as well.”
