Heaven and Hell for Refugees, Artist and Dreamers
My years inside the Chelsea Hotel were a visual quest for the unifying elements of the people who chose to live there and the ghosts who still lurk in the shadows. During the four years I lived there people were always asking me what it’s like to live in the Chelsea Hotel. Not always easy. There were times I felt like a fly caught in a spider’s web, at risk of being eaten alive if I made the wrong move.
