In conversation with CJ, we talked about the process of transferring his techniques as a tattoo artist into creating a two dimensional piece of work to be displayed, replacing the limitless nature of skin with the borders of gallery walls. He expressed that he wanted to create a piece that would suit the atmosphere of the exhibit, describing it as carrying a “technological almost religious feeling” to it. CJ plans to engrave a piece of metal with his designs, an idea which came to fruition in response to the culmination of his feelings surrounding the event paired with inspiration drawn from a quote that Helsen stumbled upon when visiting a Church. The quote read “I will never leave or forsake you”. Chatting about the process behind his formation of this upcoming artwork further, he revealed “nothing spoke to me more than metal”, going on to describe the point of conceptualization as “a super physiological thing, it’s reflective of a lot”. To witness the finale of his creative musings, be certain to attend the Prima Garden exhibit on December 13th.
