title
Darkened Introspection
Through the use of deep, earthy tones and rich textures, I aim to communicate a sense of dark, emotive mindsets and thought processes. Inspired by the teachings of Carl Jung, psychological symbolism and personal experience, I have created this series as an analysis of our subconscious minds and the negative emotional responses that live - often unchecked - within.
This series is an introspective of our minds, our thoughts and our subsequent unconscious actions.
Darkened Introspection was completed in October 2014. Five of the eight final pieces are present in this entry.
Andrew’s work often takes two avenues of theme: a darker, sometimes scary world of unseen nightmares, and a nostalgic playground of warm memories, much safer and happier than the former.
Always looking further than traditional methods of photography, digital manipulation allowed Andrew to communicate and share his view of the world. A constant need to lace his work with elements of obscure visions, Andrew delivers visuals the viewer can connect with on multiple levels
