Piece description from the artist
Living in East New York in the winter was truly a special experience. There is a certain cold, a certain loneliness that exists there that feels abandoned. A persistent calm fills the streets with melancholy and intrigue. As snow cascades down onto the homes and sidewalks, there is a new majesty that blankets the otherwise forgotten section of the city. The white snow highlights the best and worst qualities of the neglected community.
Vanessa 'Venusian' Edwards is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, photographer, and Temple alumna who thrives on color, concept, and creativity. Through visually stimulating editing, she loves to emphasize the aspect of story and human emotion in any single photograph. Her favorite saying regarding her work is "human emotion is a lost art", which is something she aims to capture in every shot.
Today she is collaborating with brands and artists across industries to bring visionary ideas to life, exploring herbology and the ceremony of drinking tea, and exploring somatic movement through practice and performance.
