J. Randall spent his early years in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, growing through elite institutions including the Ivy League. But his deepest education came beyond those halls and behind those select scenes—through the grief and testing he faced often alone and in silence.

Shaped by experiences of neglect, betrayal, exile, and suppression, his work centers on willful continuance, masculine discipline, and the refusal to lie.

He knows spiritual poverty in a good house, in a good school, amongst “good people”.

He walked away from dead, oozing systems, corrupt personal and social dynamics, and from the hollowness he found in the art and academic worlds—to speak.

He has studied people and the world—both up close and at a distance.

His style imbues his poetics with thought, and his aesthetic sense with breakthrough and observation.

His life finds a way through darknesses with a rawness.

His work is not a ‘content’ nor a ‘masking’, he chooses to remove those elements as much as possible. Rather his work is a realization, a remembering, a revealing.

It is the offering of life.

This path is not casual, nor ‘settled for’. It is chosen.

He continues forward living in a devotion to Intuition, writing at whichever hour or moment calls for it.

If you're ready—venture further.

There is always a message to find.
