The catch up

So many months have passed. Four months, to be exact.

I was lucky enough to be a part of 3 shows from September to October, so I haven't posted much since then. Being invited to participate in shows is a very cool moment, but then you realize all the work you need to put into it.

Since then, I have found my artistic direction and, more importantly, my creative voice.

It will surely be color, as that was a creative choice early in the year (make sure to read about it here: Case Study with Phil Penman) and leaning into the works of Saul Leiter and Alex Webb.

The trick was how to be influenced but not replicate. I took down all the aspects of what I like about their work. I tore down and deeply dived into each of their images. Once I had all my notes, I took the primary aspects of each piece and slowly started to implement items into my work. It is still an ongoing practice, but I am 80% there.

The funny thing is I am sure it will evolve again.
