Jon Michael Frank's work in Dark Garbage seems to balance ever so carefully on this fine line between the profound and the unintelligible, like reading the dreams of a sad clown prophet. It is uncompromising and dictates its own pace and rules and never tries to be anything other than itself. While it appears to be many things -an absurdist document on depression and boredom, a freeform escapist fantasy, a cathartic exercise/excision from an anxious mind - to try to pinpoint this work or to put it in a box really seems to take away from what it seems to accomplish as a piece of art. Something ethereal and not quite quantifiable. Art doesn't always have to make perfect sense, as long as it leaves something lingering, and that's exactly what Dark Garbage has done; left a little piece of itself inside of me, to carry back into my own reality.
