title
Untitled (Red Thread), 2018
Working through self-doubt and questions of identity, Sean constructs austere, yet neutral and distant scenes of palpable tension and uncertainty. With a subtle, minimal approach he aims to disrupt, select from, and delete classical narrative formula to form scenarios that are reliant on subjective associations.
With his meticulously constructed, photographed, and digitally manipulated images, he combines visual vocabulary from iconography, symbolism, and the surreal to present moments of dissonance between the individual, separate states of self, and collective systems. Using human form as a stand in for emotion, psychology, and physicality, the specific subjects are rendered subservient to the conflicts arising in the works.

entry description
My aim with this image was to link human form and the surrounding city "landscape"; originally my plan was to simply have the figure mimic the two poles standing at the end of the small platform, but I thought it would be more effective to have the figure literally bound to the poles, using red thread to add another layer of visual interest to the image.about the photographer
