Meet Mary. (Being Alice)
New work. Short project, to be completed by the 8th of April. The working title is ‘Meet Mary.’ The goal is to photograph – Mary – acting out all of/or most of her childhood fantasies. The aim with this project is to produce a series of cohesive images which can be entered into a local competition. The greater goal with this work is to improve digital skills as well as expand illustrative/fantasy portfolio, with the aim of getting work with local theaters. With regard to conceptual material and research my primary interests are the indexicality of the image, history of fairytales/folklore, performance art, photo-therapy, and the construction of narrative. Visually I will be looking for artists/photographers who explore different techniques with regard to lighting effects, narrative sequencing, digital manipulation, and image construction/production shoots.
*no newts were harmed in the making of these images.
Dare to do good.
Inspired by the Month of April, Autism Awareness month and the work I did with Eric Armstrong I thought it would be a good idea to give something back to those in need. Please check it out and spread the word. Everyone has known a child in need weather it be a friend, a family member, or even themselves who has struggled. UNICEF works towards protecting every child – so why not start helping them now. I’m daring myself to walk across the United States to rase money to charity. If enough money is raised in time – I will document the process by creating a documentary about my journey to raise awareness. So now – I’m daring you to donate!
Frightened. [Band Work]
Frightened is an indie electronic/ post-rock project which was started by Peter Russell in 2010. In 2012 Devon McFadden joined Frightened to collaborate as the primary female vocalist on the new album, “The Love We Show Each Other”. The concept for the album came from an idea about what it would sound like if instrumental electronic post-rock was joined with the sounds of more traditional folk singing.
Although the artists initially developed as soloists, they knew each other from a young age which enabled Peter to approach Devon for the creation of the album. With backgrounds as soloists, the process of recording has developed as both independent and collaborative. Peter will write and create the instrumental portion and then send it to Devon where she will independently listen to it and produce lyrics. Then together, both artists will discuss and collaboratively develop what has been produced which results in a recording.
In an interview for this this album, Devon revealed that she wrote her lyrics to reflect “adolescent love and how it develops into mature love, which involves letting the past go”. Outside of their passion for music Peter recently graduated from Ithaca University for Psychology and Devon has graduated from Marymount Manhatten University with a BA in Theatre. They are currently based out of Cape Cod and are available for bookings.
Released on March 4, 2013 “The Love We Show Each Other” is now available – free – to listen and download here:
