Put me in your box ...

This summer has been wonderful. I've created and shared and been inspired. Epiphanies have come and gone, only to return again. Resolutions have been made. Energy has been redirected and encouraged. Love has been refined and redefined and persistent. From this comes ideas that need outlets, messages that want breath and room. The birth of dryskywater is on the horizon...take a peek at these metaphoric sonograms:



A series of tin boxes, perfect for holding those customer discount cards that can clutter a wallet, laundry quarters, creative gift boxes etc...


Mixed media collage. The epitome of fierce. It depicts the beauty of progression, while also being beautiful in your progression.







Mixed Media Collage. "Free Yourself" This is less about the individuals photographed, and more about the idea of agency in general. No one will give you you peace or freedom. Sometimes, most times, you will have to take it.






Mixed Media Collage. "Rock and Roll." Rock and Roll is a product of The Blues, The Blues is a beautiful expression of aspects of the Black experience. This piece seeks to connect the contemporary notion of 'rock and roll' to the blues, as well as to the idea that Black communities globally have expressions equivalent to The Blues.




Mixed Media Collage. "s/he's gotta have it." This piece plays with the idea of gender roles and sexuality. The boxes we put others in limit ourselves as well. The boxes we remain in is of our own volition.
