“Art SAVES. Words HEAL. Memories LIVE.”

– David V Barron

THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

A digital scrapbook collage featuring a portrait of David V Barron in a white suit, vintage Art Nouveau illustrations, a portrait of Eric Barron, David's grandfather, and a handwritten note reading "David V Barron. ART SAVES. WORDS HEAL. MEMORIES LIVE. Xxx".

Scrapbooking is a profound grounding technique for C-PTSD—a practice I highly recommend. Processing the artifacts of your decades alive (the journals, photographs, letters, notes, and keepsakes) provides an avenue to safely sift through the kaleidoscopic sands of time. When we immerse ourselves in a past that often only makes sense to a survivor in retrospect, we can finally bring a level of peace to our present circumstances and to all the Technicolor that trauma paints onto our soul. Ultimately, documenting our history through collage and collation is a powerful way to re-frame our life experiences, helping us break free from harmful physiological cycles and reclaim our narrative. Think of everyone you have ever known, and everyone you haven’t. Think of them as five-year-olds. That is who I work so hard to save—the survivors who should never have had their innocence IV’d into a predator’s wiles. The cutting room floor is where this reality lies; the undeniable truth beneath my art. I made this for Baby Dave, Baby Daph, Baby Stu, and Baby Everyone. I am me. We, are you!

It features a childhood photo of David in a bubble, surrounded by 1980s pop culture cutouts including the Wizard of Oz, V the series, He-Man, and Alice in Wonderland. A literal, deeply textured scrapbook page documenting the New Marske era (Ages 7-11). This physical collage maps the geography of the architect's youth alongside the formative 1980s pop culture that fueled his early directorial vision, which the squatters in his life tried to steal.

CAT-RA: The Deflector | Shielding the DVB Estate from the Horde
Like Cat-Ra, I know what it means to survive the Horde. This shield is not just for defense; it is a mirror. It deflects the infinite noise of the ‘Squatters’ in my life, right back onto themselves. I am an incomplete infinite design, and I am finally doing my own thing. The Horde has no power here. It is done.
