I grew up with people and places that grounded my roots deep into the southern soil and my heart into Louisiana’s personality. I sense the South, within its old things that still have purpose, in its soft blanket of pine straw beneath my feet and its suffocating summer nights. I smell it in the strong coffee, in the mud and the paper mills. I see it in the blur of the cotton, the sugar cane fields as I pass by, as well as and the small white churches that dot the landscape. I hear the south in the distant train whistles, in the song of the cicada signaling the dark, and in the accents of the people I love. I have always wanted my photographs to demonstrate those special feelings of my childhood. These southern memories will always be part of who I am and the work I do. In an effort to create images that reflect a sense of nostalgia, I blend modern Photoshop techniques, oils, glazes, and waxes to create texture and depth. I meld pixels, paper and paint to create photographic fusions that celebrate my native Louisiana as well as people, places and stories that move me. I make a humble attempt to portray the role of inspirational storyteller through imagery and look for ways to satisfy my vintage eye in the camera, in the computer, in the printing, and in the paint.These images from The Three Chapters Of Illumination: God Calling. represents a metaphorical journey through the entrapment of fear into liberty. Throughout the project the wolf to signifies fear and the ability to control it.
