Selfie Replicant represents who I would be if I was a replicant in Ridley Scott’s 1982 cult classic, Blade Runner. Capturing the feel of the film it shows how my personality would emerge in the futuristic 2049 dystopia. Representing myself as one of the bioengineered androids found in the film I am revealing a hidden strength brought on by personal struggles within my own life. This selfie captures a side of me that is as potentially vindictive and powerful as it is dark and mysterious.

She is black, blue and purple with a powerful smart mouth. She resists by persistently defying expectations.

Over the weekend, I watched Inside Out in back to back sittings while working on a new mixed media portrait. The little voices inside my head directed these digital fragmentations.
If you could see the wheels of my mind turing while daydreaming at work. This is what you would see…

Joy’s sunny halo gave rise to a hopeful, “Sunrise Meditation”.
Know the part in Inside Out where Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong take a shortcut through Abstract Thought. The first stage is non objective fragmentation.
No matter what obstacles are before you, just keep going.
