A Black Dog Came Calling

This work is the culmination of three years of research and marks another major shift in my development. Here I attempt to take the viewer on an allegorical 'journey' through the process of depression as viewed from a first-hand perspective. Combined with the images are two text pieces * that carry the work forward to a conclusion that can be positive or negative depending on the perceptions of the viewer.

* The words accompanying the Black Dog images are taken from "De Profundis" by Oscar Wilde and "Darkness Visible" by William Styron.
