People In Conversation Series

People in Conversation #1

Spray paint on found photograph

2018

This series of 3 images is titled People in Conversation #1-3. You can clearly see the tagged self-portraits that I’ve added to the work, in one case completely covering one of the people in the original photograph.

This work is odd. I clearly don’t belong in the photos, evidenced by the size of my figure as slightly bigger or smaller than it should be, the color, and the style of my image. The resulting community feels forced. There is a tension between the invasive feeling of my figure in the composition and the pleasant expression on my face as I engage with people that don’t even realize I’m there.
