Mid paste (2015)
(2015) Visual art poster Lisbon.
Pondering the actions of humans, while wandering the streets of a country that has in the not so distant past, used the activism of public art as a means to support and spark revolution. Poster reads “Man’s Inhumanity to Man”.

Forgotten Arch (2015)
(2015) Visual art poster. Lisbon.
Always looking to blend or camouflage work into its surroundings. This approach might buy the work a little more time on the street, or it may not. The reality of not only street art being ephemeral but everything slowly crumbling before our eyes is a beautiful thing to observe.
Dinosaurs And Sea Hawks (2014) film
(2014) Video, short film.
Sleeping under a bridge is a man and his dinosaur mask. Waking up, he walks into the heart of the city and puts on his mask. A friend, a stranger, a kindred soul emerges and the mask is passed off and traded. The man watches and then walks away with a Sea Hawks hat.
Inspired by creating performance gifts for my schizophrenic mother Dinosaurs and Sea Hawks is another story in my ongoing performance works. The dinosaur mask is intended as a reminder of childhood and quite literally a mask to hide from the harsh reality of the world through my mother’s eyes.
Directed, filmed and edited by Linas Phillips.
Written and acted in by Ezra Dickinson.
Featuring Melinda Fraizer.

ArtZoom Gigapixel (2014)
(2014) performed for photograph
I was one of the hundred artists performing in various ways, dispersed throughout an image of Seattle stitched together from 22,000 photos, taken atop a tall building. For this Microsoft project, I used my Allosaurus head mask, standing outside the Science Center, carnivorously perched atop a large rock.

Mother Quilt (2013)
(2013) quilt created for the performance of Mother for you I made this.
Sourcing ideas and imagery from my childhood of wanting to be able to wrap myself in my mother’s arms turned into creating a portrait of my mother and sewing that into a quilt that I could wrap myself in. This was the first quilt I have ever made, but was definitely not my last. I used four 3’x5’ tiled sections of photographic fabric to create this 5’x7’ portrait of my mother Kathryn.

Rainbow and Kris’ Quilt (2013)
(2013) wedding quilt
Initially I was asked to create a backdrop for wedding attendees to use for taking photographs. I couldn’t just make something that was going to only have one use, so the backdrop turned into a wedding quilt gift complete with a portrait of the bride and groom. This was my second quilt of the year, but by far the most complicated sewing project I have ever undertaken. The size is 10’x7’ and is built from eleven different colors cut and stitched down piece by piece.
