Photographs from this shoot available for purchase as a 13 x 20 in. print, edition 1 of 10, here.

Info about the work:

here i was experimenting with my portal sculptures not being able to stand on their own. this one is leaning on a tree. if you’ve been following my work recently, you know standing up right / with a firm foundation has become a field study since i spent the majority of 2 years laying in bed chronically ill.

other themes related to my portals ::

~ adornment :: the portal is draped similarly to the drapes of Renaissance figures

~ portals & thresholds :: archetypes of personal growth & awakening consciousness

~ copper pipes :: a utilitarian tool (widely identified as masculine) with “feminine” adornment // [manual] labor

for this portal in particular ::

~ ruby + mist during winter hibernation

~ no base / no threshold
