Meet the Artist

Lacey Finchum is the 21st century human artist known as Lace Finch. She ran off to the woods a few years ago and ended up learning a bunch of stuff about herself and the world. She taught herself to paint and forage and fix things including herself.

Lacey is an alchemist who uses physical and digital paint to turn todays headlines into surreal works of art that she hopes will convey how rediculous it is that the few lead the many into destruction.

Lacey’s work can be found mostly in her closet but also online, on a few public and private walls, and in collections across the world.

A Closer Look at the Art.

7 Days is…

“Part history, part prophecy, part current events, “7Days” is a set of giant “ancient” scrolls depicting the surreal imagery of our dystopian world. It is the culmination of 20 some years of end times rhetoric,  a year or so of burnout, 9 months of live streamed horror and atrocity, and a few moments of hollering at “GOD”. It is an effort to convey the feeling of watching business as usual while the world burns.”

The show begins with the title wall.

An intro of sorts with fake gold and foil smiles.

The title wall warns the viewer that the show has already started and you’re already paying the price.

If you look closely there is yet another clue, the deeper you look, the more you will see.

In the begining, The Man created the system and The People thought it was beautiful.

And Day 1 is the first day.

Day 1

Status Quo

The Man sits upon His ivory-tower throne while The People, chained to the system, scream under the weight of carying it.

The chains are just for show but the price really is your life.

You can’t let go but you can break the chains.

Day 2

Progress

The first two days were easy but it gets trickier from here.

Can you see where this is going?

The Man plays games while the world burns.

He makes decisions to fulfill His goal.

The goal is to win at any cost.

The cost? Your grandchildrens lives.

Day 3

LOL

The first few days were expensive but this one costs double.

The Man maintains the illusion of His power by destroying those weaker than him.

He maintains His illusion of control thru lies, manimpulation, and distraction.

“Never mind the lasers, here come the aliens!”

Day 4

Fore!

Freedom begs for change and blesses those who offer it.

The Man plays his games.

He builds Himself vast playgrounds while gleefully stealing from the mouths of The People.

He sentances the poor to lives of struggle and starvation and calls it freedom of choice.

If you look beyond the facade you’ll find the truth, The Man seeks power for Himself and His own pleasure and cares not if The People starve.

You can choose to see or to look away.
Choose wisely for the cost of your indiference is your humanity.

Day 5

I Got 5 (kilo) on it!”

The Man gambles with more money than The People can conceive.

He doesn’t care if it costs an arm and a leg because it’s not He but The People that pay the price.

The People walk tight-ropes for survival while The Man rejoices at His windfall.

Time is running out, the end is coming near.

The People have a choice to make.

The Man’s choice is clear.

Day 6

Power
-vs-
Control

The Man is in control but it’s The People who have the power.

Through word or deed, if The People stopped fighting eachother, They could use Their swords to cut Their strings.

“What strings?” you ask.

Under the right light, the hidden doest apear.

Don’t think literal strings, the mode is in the ether and the control is thru our consumption.

Day 7

Rest in Pieces

That’s it, this is the end but it will still be two days before The Man realizes he can’t eat money.

Eat it up as fast as you can!

Says The Man,

More! More! More!
