Poetry

Poetry is often the window through which one can truly glimpse an artist. Corey's work is no exception. Uncompromising, sometimes harsh, often beautiful, and always honest.

YouTube

Corey makes regular postings to YouTube. He has uploaded over 100 videos as of July 2009. His poetry videos are short form art: quirky insights into his artistic work ethic and how his mercurial mind ticks. They don't explain everything, though.

Artist's Statement

I paint, write and photograph for myself. Expressing myself is a process of self examination. Having others view and interpret my work is an additional reward. We all see the world differently, and my art is an expression of my perspective. When I began spoken word, and displaying visual work, I realized that other people were adding their impressions to my experience. My contact with this has led me to become more comfortable with people. I now try to add these encounters to my art. By doing this I hope to establish a dialogue with the viewer/listener which creates a cycle of experience and interpretation that feeds the work.
