His eerie sculptural works effortlessly twist and turn us around into the position of participant in the scene, whether we like it or not. Perhaps we enjoy this quandary, perhaps we like to explore the things that make us uncomfortable, perhaps we can't admit it, perhaps we wouldn't do so if it weren't asked of us. In fact, it isn't asked, it happens. _Flaunt_ visited the artist's studio over the course of the months leading up to his solo exhibition, _Scenes_, at [Samuel Freeman Gallery](http://samuelfreeman.com/) in Culver City. On the occasion of tomorrow's closing of the show of three sculptural installations (the titular "scenes") accompanied by their respective bronze maquette predecessors, here we give you a preview of the documentation of the process, to be seen in full in _Flaunt's_ Art Issue, releasing during this year's Art Basel Miami Beach. Scenes _at_ [Samuel Freeman Gallery, Culver City](http://samuelfreeman.com/) _closes_ _tomorrow, October 24th. A conversation will be held between_ Kristian Burford _and writer_ Jan Tumlir _at_ 4pm.
