Satan Said So
Book & Job Gallery Exhibition – 2014
In 2014, I exhibited a series of 34 photographs at Book and Job Gallery in San Francisco. The collection presents a stark and hypnotic repetition: women, often topless, sometimes nude, headbanging with raw abandon in front of a massive redwood pentagram I built as the central set piece. Each image is framed against a white backdrop with a wooden floor, creating a stripped-down stage where gesture, hair, and motion become the subject as much as the body itself.
The work blurs ritual and performance, reducing the scene to pure rhythm and force while maintaining a cohesive visual language across all 34 images. The repetition is deliberate: every photograph offers a new variation on the same act, pushing the viewer to notice subtle differences in posture, hair movement, and presence.
The series was also self-published as a book, further distilling the project into a singular, collectible object that extends the exhibition beyond the gallery walls.
