Wild One (Anti-Portrait) (Print)

              I have found that when we meet someone for the first time, we tend to bring our own knowledge, opinions, baggage, and history into the interaction and project it onto them. We don’t get the opportunity to know them, experience their character from a loved one’s perspective. We unintentionally meet a mirror of ourselves, our own biases; and we are, in fact, personally bias creatures.
 
          I wanted to create a series of work that forces the viewer to experience a person’s character (good and bad), to know what it is like to be near them by those that love them, meet them without an opportunity for initial personal judgement.
 
         Trinity: To know you, is to dance with the mischievous twirls of a wild animal, playfully wicked in nature. An embodiment of moonlight and lavender, with teeth. Every movement genuine, every reaction palpable to those who respect you, hold you safely and let you be free. Yours is a genuine and wild company, with a wealth of softness and ferocity.
 
       I’d love to discuss commission ideas for an anti-portrait of you (or a loved one) and get to know you (or someone you love) a little better! (Print)
