The Process of a Print with Patrick Symons

Struggle: A Senior Exhibition

Struggle is my senior exhbition in Fine Art. 

Using Duotone Solar Plates, single layered solar plates, pastels and photo transfers I recreated family photos. In these recreated photos I aimed to take the struggles I encountered in much of my life, primarily in broken family relationships and depression, and layer them on top of the facade of these snapshots. 

The purpose is to relate the things I struggled with and still do, to those in that place and those who haven't experienced that. The goal being to pull the viewer to a point of Hope and Reconciliation.
