"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
~Erma Bombeck
I have always been interested in people, and as far back as I can remember have enjoyed sketching and painting them. Family dynamics interest me. I had a fairly sane upbringing and it's only now as I get older, that I am getting a sense of how fragile family relationships can be.
I have been looking at candid shots from weddings (thinking about my next project), noticing strange looks on faces, and can't help but wonder what lies beneath.
