VIRTUE & VENOM I

VIRTUE & VENOM

MORALITY SITS IN THE ROOM DRESSED IN WHITE. DESIRE STANDS BESIDE IT IN A SUIT. BOTH PRETEND NOT TO RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER.

SAINT ROSA, LADY MADELINE, AND THE ID SHARE THE SAME SPACE, THE SAME PERFORMANCE. ONE CLAIMS PURITY. ONE EMBODIES TEMPTATION. ONE REVEALS INSTINCT. NONE ARE INNOCENT.

THIS IS NOT SCANDAL. IT IS ROUTINE. GOSSIP BECOMES CURRENCY. DRAMA BECOMES STRUCTURE. REPUTATION IS CURATED WHILE IMPULSE HIDES BEHIND POLITE LANGUAGE.

VIRTUE IS DISPLAYED. VENOM IS WHISPERED.

IN THE SOCIAL ROOM, EVERYONE PLAYS A ROLE. NO ONE LEAVES UNMARKED.

A COLLISION OF SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND DIGITAL MANIPULATION. THIS WORK IS CONSTRUCTED FROM ORIGINAL IMAGES OF BRONZE SCULPTURES FROM THE FAMILLIA SERIES, LAYERED WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS AND REASSEMBLED THROUGH DIGITAL COLLAGE.

THIS DIGITAL ARTWORK CAN BE PRINTED IN ANY OF THE SIZES AVAILABLE IN THE DROP DOWN BOX.
