1973-07-27 Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Cali Thornhill Dewitt’s brash punk-poetry spans multiple artistic disciplines. His DIY aesthetic pairs photography, often of war or aerial shots of the planet, with macabre slogans such as “PANIC ATTACK,” “CRISIS SUPPORT" and “PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM.” Imagery of American flags, nuclear war, serial killers and the JFK assasination emphasise sensationalism in mass-media and political fear mongering. Meanwhile, his own background making band posters and album covers during the 1990s emanates through the grungy-glam attitude. Throughout his repertoire, Dewitt’s sardonic twists on iconic symbolism raise themes including nationalism, capitalism and the American dream.
