***MORE NEWS*** My piece, "Marriage Bonds" was selected for the 2nd Annual ActLoCLE Online Juried Art Exhibition and has also been awarded an honorable mention. actlocle.org Thank you so much for this honor, jurors and team! #juriedexhibition #artshow #photography #honorablemention #artlocle

A historical photo of a mild-looking married couple in an antique gold frame shows the truth about what happens in secret at home where no one can see: he, a musician, holds a tuning fork. Her mouth is taped shut and her hands are bound by a pair of matching wedding bands. In her hand is a diptych photo of a disembodied woman's nude torso on one side and a pair of disembodied female hands shackled by matching wedding bands on the other. In the foreground of the entire image is an overlay of the man's face, contorted with violent rage.

A list of the names of the artists whose works were selected. Bridgett Crocker Emerson, this artist, is highlighted.

White Lotus This is the first year I'm growing lotus and I'm really enjoying it.🤍 I took this picture today.

A mystical white lotus in all stages appears suspended on a dark background surrounded by light leaks. Maiden, mother, and crone in bud, bloom, and seed pod.

This arrangement has only scabiosa and sunflowers in it. These flowers were from my friend Sarah. I wanted to see if I could make something using only those and I wanted it to be weird. It was fun! I rather like it! #floralportrait #bloomscrolling #florals #photography #structural

Scabiosa seed pods, flowers, and unopened sunflower heads, and sunflower leaves combine in a structural floral arrangement

The Pomegranate I My Persephone series is about my experience with domestic and intimate partner violence. DV/IPV sneaks up on you. Being in that relationship felt like being trapped in the underworld. #persephone #stilllifephotography #stilllife #photography #myth #allegory #women #womenartists

This piece from my self portrait series is called "Gaslit." #selfportrait #photography #gaslit

A woman's face is rendered in shades of blue and teal. There is a white area with no color in the middle of her forehead. Her mouth looks pinched, the color in the image is running, her eyes appear closed.

Another photo I made for Catherine Just's "Gathering Evidence" photo project. The prompt was "doorknob." My response is full of symbolism. This project celebrates focusing on things that are going "right" with a photo prompt a day. #stilllifephotography #stilllife #photography

Ripe persimmons mound in and around an elegant tarnished silver Art Deco creamer. Leaning on it is an antique doorknob mechanism with faceted glass knobs, and faceted large suncatchers around it. The image looks like an antique painting.

Another from Catherine Just's "Gathering Evidence" photo project. The prompt was "doorknob." I'm participating in Catherine Just's "Gathering Evidence" project this November, which celebrates focusing on things that #photography #artist #photographer

The photo prompt for this image was "doorknob." This is a photo of a brass doorknob on a creamy white door, behind which is the image of Ophelia by artist Arthur Hughes, carrying flowers.

Out My Window I'm participating in Catherine Just's "Gathering Evidence" project this November, which celebrates focusing on things that are going "right" via a photo prompt a day. #gatheringevidence #window #photography

A cold, atmospheric, moody, wintery sky with trees missing most of their leaves, bare branches, and a few proud evergreens all rendered in muted colors. The steely scene gives the feeling of putting your hand on a cold window from inside a warm room.
