PACK OF WILD WOLVES

A friend of mine writes really disturbing country songs. This series of portraits were inspired by his song "Pack of Wild Wolves" which i think is about how an imaginary judgemental society views and persecutes him. Or i could be wrong and a real pack of wild wolves strangled his head with their hands and constantly plan his death. http://www.myspace.com/vincenttrails

So, i started thinking about the 'pack of wild wolves' inside everyones head. Percieved realities, unrealistic fears, the self conscious thoughts that make you pull at your shirt tails and how people react to these thoughts and ideas.

These portraits are of some who choose not to be hindered by it and live their lives in defiance of imaginary impossibilities.

I was invited to be a part of the "Unearthed Arcana" show running during the VERS10N in Chicago in late April and will be showing 10 portraits of this series. http://versionfest.org/V10/28.html
