Only Child Photograph

Alicia Savage is a Boston fine art photographer and illustrator. Her self-portrait series, "Destinations", is an organic exploration and evolving documentation of her present and past. Inspired by her curiosity and fueled by her imagination she investigates significant aspects of family history and the subsequent places she finds herself with in her multi-faceted life. Utilizing herself as subject she embraces literal road trips and their consequent metaphorical journeys they evoke. Her bold encounter with these layers of her identity reverberate with elements of the old and new. Vintage dresses, uncharted backroads, homesteads of ancestors each reveal a twist in the road and an undiscovered vantage point from which to play. Feeling her way through the process her destination is ever-unfolding. Post production practices are the second place to layer and expose new landscapes. An echo of the internal and external, the past and present, the known and unknown. Self-portraiture found Savage and provides a rich and complex context for this emerging artist. Her work includes fine art photography, instruction and creative production.
