"Together", 2018Archival Pigment PrintEdition 1/10Framed: 16" x 24" Signed on Verso
ARTIST'S STATEMENT: A genuine human connection has become rare during this time of technological advancement. My generation are the lab rats to this experiment. Having the power to connect to almost everyone on the planet seems beautiful at first, but has grown into an uncontrollable phenomenon of craving attention, and in some instances, love from people you don't know. This photograph tells the story of people who's deepest connection is with someone they can't touch physically. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Expressing myself is the only thing in life that has ever made sense. My artwork is an expression of my chaotic mind and experiences as a young black man raised in the suburbs. I never felt inspired by my surroundings or my peers. When I started making photographs, it was an attempt to make something beautiful in a place seemingly devoid of beauty. To my surprise, mundanity became my main source of inspiration for making art.This work is on view at MINT Gallery as a part of the Atlanta Celebrates Photography One's to Watch 2020 exhibition.

"Growing Pains", 2014 Archival Pigment PrintEdition 2/10 Print: 19" x 13"Frame: 20" x 16" Signature Label Included ARTIST'S STATEMENT: This image represents adolescence and the uncomfortable transition into adulthood that we undergo. For young black men in America, moving from the carefree mentality of a child to the hyper-aware, hyper-conscious mindset of a man brings along many complicated elements. The image uses the large knife to symbolize the nature of Black maturation and its assumed threat, while the peanut jar acts as a reminder of the innocent origins and realities that we often emerge from. ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Jackson and Joshua were born in 1993. Their collaborative work draws a medium between their two very individual examinations of life and modern Americanism. Their two perspectives bring forward an acutely electric body of work centered on mortality and life's moments of subtle madness and the understated absurdity within the everyday of American youths.This work is on view at MINT Gallery as a part of the Atlanta Celebrates Photography One's to Watch 2020 exhibition.
