Fallow,
Fallow The WILD, digital
This piece shows the decay and texture found in the natural world. I compared this to the humans that documented this early in the discovery of new lands. There is a riddle written about dear, describing them as follows. This depiction is listed on the postcard of this piece. Moreover, I went to National Geographic and shaded in images to layer them over modern architecture. The text exclaims how humans have taken from what is a natural process of death.
Pitch Black,
Pitch Black, Death. Modge Podge, paper mache
My bird mask draws inspiration from the exaggerated features of Commedia dell’Arte, blending theatrical stylization with the ominous symbolism of the Egyptian god of death. By incorporating elongated, beak-like forms and rigid contours, the mask embodies the archetype of the trickster or harbinger, while its reference to ancient funerary mythology evokes the threshold between life and the afterlife. The piece also reflects the human fear of darkness—an instinctive anxiety tied to the unknown—and this theme is visually intensified through the use of pitch-black coloration. The deep black surface not only suggests the void associated with death and night, but also heightens the mask’s sense of mystery and foreboding, merging historical performance traditions with primal emotional responses. At the end of the day, we all return to the dark.
More so, I made these pieces. These are taken in downtown Chicago. It goes from white on Black to Black on Black. I took them with a Canon with a film shutter over the lens. My goal was to capture a transition to darkness, which is how the colour holds its power in the world such as at night.
