10 Year Anniversary of "The Anxiety of Love" Special Limited Edition
“The Anxiety of Love” 2013
Ten years ago I first veered from my commercial photography work to focus on fine art photography. “The Anxiety of Love” was the first work that I was truly satisfied with. I’m not the best at discussing my personal life so I found that art could express insecurities, anxieties and fears in a less fumbling way than words. This was also when ghosts became a useful metaphor.
The year 2013 was a sleepless one, filled with anxiety and late nights strolling the streets of Queens so that I could exhaust myself into slumber. It didn’t work but being alone provided time to conceive artwork that I would eventually pursue. I’ve since sold over 500 prints of “The Anxiety of Love” as open editions but am now offering limited editions that most closely resemble the intended final appearance on paper that I dreamt of printing.
I’ve enjoyed reading emails and comments from so many who, without knowing the story and the intent of this project could identify it. Many have purchased prints for others so that they could share their own experience. It’s a work that has truly taken a life of its own and I’m incredibly grateful that at least one photograph I’ve made has touched people.
It’s my hope with the offering of these limited edition works that you will find something affecting about the work. If you prefer open edition prints, don’t worry, they’re still available and the paper is also terrific. I’ve added a 8.5”x11” to the options of open edition prints that you can purchase directly below.
