Twins in the Alley  |   Archival Pigment Print   |   Edition: 10+2AP

I’m seeing double to kickoff 2024, not from celebrating the New Year ball drop, but from the South x Southeast Gallery announcement that Twins in the Alley was selected for the exhibition 40 over 40, curated by Elizabeth Avedon.

"Elizabeth has chosen a diverse and wonderfully interesting exhibition from a group of highly talented and professional photographers.”, Nancy McCrary, SxSE Gallery Director.

Thank you, Nancy and Elizabeth, for your continued support of the arts and artists. I’m extremely honored to be included alongside 39 talented photographers and images.

You can view all the forty images online from January 1 through February 29, 2024.

Artist Statement – Aside from the visual likeness of twins, there is very often an ethereal or unconscious connection between them, whether it be finishing each other’s sentences or tapping into each other’s feelings, as well as lifelong support for each other. In this image, Twin in the Alley, I feel I captured not only their physical connection and like-ness through the lens but also this ethereal energy that connects them spiritually.
