“Iris” by Mary Church (2018)
Mary Church was a Southern artist from Florida who committed suicide just a month after she turned 28 (close enough for her to join the infamous 27 Club). She was a prolific multi-media artist who channel-surfed her way through one artistic style after the next. Her art is very much attuned to the astral planes, which she channeled through her visceral imagery. Mythological references, astral energies and intense forms of soul-searching and looking for meaning make her a perfect embodiment of the anxieties of the Hypermodern generation of millenials who are currently searching for meaning in their lives. Her art is filled with spooky beings and strange fantasial beasts that haunted her to the end of her life.
“Kat” by Mary Church (2017)
I am currently in the process of republishing her journals, entitled Earthblood: The Journals of Mary Church. They are equally spooky and filled with doppelgangers, ghosts and bizarre parallel dimensions to the physical plane. They read with the mystical intensity of Dostoeyevski’s Notes from Underground. Stay tuned: those will be published in a full color (hi-rezzed) hardcover volume from my new press, Iconik Books.

WTF is shopify?
Does this mean someone is profiting off another dead artist?
Man, I love her work. I can resonate with that ghostly death walk presence beyong the physical. Too many, too many who walk this way go too early to the grave, but I get it, been so close, had the train miss me by inches and I laughed, she didn't have that space.
