“Queen of Limbs”
As we embark on a new year, I find myself feeling increasingly driven to explore new avenues of creative expression. There is something about the start of a new year that fills me with a sense of possibility, a sense that anything is achievable if we are willing to put in the hard work and take the necessary risks.
It is with this sense of excitement and possibility that I am thrilled to share with you my first new work of 2023. This image represents a new chapter in my artistic journey, one in which I am striving to push myself beyond my comfort zone and create work that feels more authentically me.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible talents of the people I am so fortunate to collaborate with. Brooke Shivers, a makeup and FX artist who consistently blows me away with her skills, created an incredible tree limb prosthetic that emanates from our model's chest, while Lila McGiboney brought a grounded, intense energy to the shoot that was exactly what we needed to bring this image to life. And then there is Olivia Lazer, a retoucher and editor whose skills are truly unparalleled. Working with her was an absolute dream, and the results speak for themselves.
As I move forward into this new chapter of my creative journey, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for the people who make this work possible. Without them, I would not be able to bring my vision to life in the way that I do. And of course, I am also filled with a sense of excitement for what the future holds, as I continue to push myself to new heights and explore the boundless potential of art.
Thank you for following along with me on this journey. Here's to a new year filled with creativity, passion, and possibility.
