Memory Palaces

"In his ecstatic gateways, Fake pays tribute, mourns the loss of, and meditates on the lives of departed friends. The ballpoint pen and gouache drawings take the form of thresholds, passageways, and transitional spaces using visually striking patterns and fantasy architecture. Fake's pictorial spaces expand and collapse, memorializing lives and building a community of celebratory facades in honor of his friends." Thomas Robertello Galley
