UNCONSTRAINED
As much as black and white photography is and always will be embedded in my DNA, I suddenly found myself existing inside a moment in time, where I grew tired of the expected. I pick up my camera to create, sometimes to document, but this time it was to heal and the subject’s black and white representation on photographic paper with its methodic postproduction felt stifling. The hunger for a change, the need to break free from the self imposed expectations on what art should be won. Letting go of all of my preconceived notions was freeing. The digital paint brush, a tool that should have felt artificial, felt natural in my hand. The creative indecisiveness that plagued me for some time was replaced with explosive, prolific, artistic certainty.
