Her Fear, Reflected
$75

Starting bid

Artist background: KMFR is a formerly incarcerated digital and tattoo artist who spent more than 17 years incarcerated in the Michigan Department of Corrections. Art has long given him a space for creativity, personal expression and healing. Working primarily through digital mediums, he creates imagery informed by emotion, lived experience and the psychological realities of incarceration.


Title: Her Fear, Reflected


Description: The piece centers on a mirror positioned outside a prison cell, a practice people sometimes use so they can see who is coming down the rock. A clock, skull, prison watchtower and tear surround the reflected figure.


Meaning: In the reflection, her fear is death itself approaching as her time runs out. The clock, skull, prison watchtower and tear build around a sense of waiting, watching and knowing something is coming. The piece explores fear, confinement, mortality and the psychological weight of time inside.

Time and Stamps

by Bob Cleveland


This photo was taken at Arches National Park,


About Bob: Born in Colorado in 1950, I was 12 years old when I sent in a cereal box top and a dollar to buy my first camera.  That same year I found a film processing kit left in the storage area of my new home in Saginaw, Michigan.

Those were the days of Time/Life and National Geographic magazines, where the world and culture were displayed in pictures.  That was my calling.


Since then, I have pursued taking and printing long lasting photo art.  I spent 35 years in the darkroom by myself, winning state wide awards for my custom color printing.  I traveled the world thru other peoples' pictures.  For the last ten years I have had the aid of a computer and daylight Giclee printing.


My photograph's show patterns of life in the form of the natural world that I meet when I step out of my home.  I trust in reality, light and composition to convey the beauty and struggle of the living in an impermanent world.  My abstracts are just that - light and form.
