My first photography exhibit.
“Roots & Wings” is an interactive contemporary art museum inspired photography exhibit. The space is a dedication to the local scene that brought me up (the roots) and the international cultural world that has since stolen my heart (the wings).
The “Roots” section (back wall) is an interactive homage to the contemporary arts scene in Indianapolis. It is my way of showing gratitude to all of those who have encouraged, supported,and inspired my development as an artist. It features listening stations that coincide with album art work and PR shots for local &
national musicians. As well as campaign work for: The Salvation Army / Homelessness Bites, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Industry & Energy, Urban Fashion, and Contemporary Design.
The “Wings” section of the exhibit (side walls) highlights a few of the international cultural opportunities that I feel extremely blessed to have experienced over the last year and a half. It is an interactive showcase of cultures, communities, and sights from around the world. Each wall contains listening stations (antique phones) that enable the listener to learn more about globalization and humanitarian/cultural activism. The photography features on these two walls are from my time spent working for Fashion Television, Bigfoot Entertainment, and The International Academy of Film & Television in Cebu, Philippines. As well as travel/editorial photography from Australia & Europe.
Together, the two sections create a cyclical view of the creative world that I now call home….a statement of appreciation and a statement of the freedom that is gained through pursuing and believing in your passions.
