In the dark, I am incongruous.
Using devices, mental and otherwise, that are not meant to be used in this way, I want to show what feeling alienated from the inside-out looks like, but I fear that my internal cannot be so externalized without too great a stretch for my audience. I want to emulate my favorite artists but, believing I have nothing so great inside, I stall out. When I turn to shoot the photo, I see Hopper in my mind. But I am not he.
I stall out, wandering around, lost at night, trying to withdraw creativity from a bankrupt cavity.
