About the series:
Barbed Wire Heart is a series of work that highlights the surreal, hypnotic impact of barbed wire spiral outside an abandoned church in downtown Atlanta. The earthen tones of nearby concrete and dark maroon bricks on nearby buildings act as a veil; only by pausing to absorb the environment in full do punctuations of color catch the eye. Inviting the viewer to pause and take in the moment, this series calls attention to gleaming, metallic spirals of wire hiding behind the drab refuse of an urban cityscape—illuminating transforming, in the most subtle ways, even the starkest conditions in which we find ourselves.
