collective liberation - Limited Edition of 1 Print

Collective Liberation is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint and resin. The base materials for the work are a wooden paneled canvas that supports the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with resin. This specific piece of art was physically put together in an outdoor studio and there was moisture during the drying process for the resin, as a result it dried with a foggy, matte finish instead of the typical glossy look. I added clear spray paint to make the original work come through in the most vibrant way possible, later adding more colors and textures during a recent exhibition in Brooklyn, NY. The inspiration for this piece comes from the concept of community, power in numbers, and our collective fight for freedom. Through connection with others, we find and experience freedom and liberation. This image was captured during my first nude women’s open call photoshoot in October 2019 in Manhattan, New York. It was a rainy and cold day, and these were the women who endured the weather and who showed up to get naked for this image and for a day of fun, bonding and mystery at a secret part of a public park in upper manhattan. The experience of shooting, modeling and creating the art is cathartic for both the subjects and for myself as the artist.
