“The Nine Days Wonder” is a phrase dating before the seventeenth century. It speaks to a thing or event that evokes a brief sensation, but soon loses its momentum with the common public. This self portrait series deals with transience and consistent emergence. In the background of each piece is the silver lining and childlike reverie, void of time and in a lingering place. Folly lying in the wake of the tangible.
The foreground image is essentially the unromantic veritable, battling the surrounding archetypes of impractical reverie.
