September is over, (was it ever really here?) and creative-costume-figuring-out has ensued. I truly love this time of year. It's the richest, most brilliant, macabre, and strange; Halloween is that time of year when innocence and eerie collide into one traditional celebration. (Pint-sized bleeding zombies and vampires running around your hood begging for candy anyone!? )
Even though Alex Clauss' work is not necessarily centered around Halloween, it definitely gives the same sort of feeling. Clauss' prints and videos collectively show their observer a spectral and nostalgic sensibility, and even a bit of bizarre humor.

And the most fitting for last, this one actually is in the essence of the coming holiday.
