I'm still processing what it means to dedicate so much time to something and almost feel like a prisoner to your own work. I'm so relieved and also very proud to be done with this. This video is of the last few weeks of work, I hope you enjoy it." Jono Dry (b. 1989) is a sel ..read more

Edouard Manet - Olympia, 1863 "There' s no symmetry in nature. One eye is never exactly the same as the other. There's always a difference. We all have a more or less crooked nose and an irregular mouth." Olympia's body as well as her gaze is unabashedly confrontational.
