Ian Kline was born in York, Pennsylvania, under the shadow of a twelve foot tall man lifting a barbell spinning in circles above the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Highway. Through Kline’s lens, strangers, family, holograms, memories, and an anxious internal imagination float within the collapsing external world forming a paranoid American drama. Through crashing light and the emotional sparks of color, he hopes to give form to something more felt than known – what it is to be alive and feel in 2022, forever in the shadow of the past while simultaneously being guided into the future by unseen Sirens. Whenever Ian returns home, the twelve foot tall man is still spinning.
