I took part in a trip to Horn Island which is a small barrier
island 12 miles south of ocean springs, Mississippi. Every
year a group of artists go to this reserve where there is no
modern facility and live for 9 days in nature. Each artists
that attends creates a body of work inspired by the time on
the island. The artists work goes up for sale into a big
gallery show for the public a couple of months after the
show.
This being my first time on the island I spent most of my
time just taking in the experience and exploring the island.
the body of work I produced directly reflects it. It would be
easy to write in great lenght the impact that the trip had.
It was easily one of the best experiences I have been apart
of. being out there there is little concept of time. Ther is
no worry or thought outside of what is to be explored that
day. Everyday begins waking up with the sun and going out
into the island.
The images in this selection are just a few that I took
during my time there. The images I used for the gallery show
are in the mix. I chose six photos and built costom frames
out of oak for the hanging and am happy to say that I sold
every piece, mostly to one person. They are currently hanging
as a collection in a orthodintist's office.
