I Am, I Will, I’m Afraid (Wellsville) was made in collaboration with 15 high school aged adolescents from Wellsville High School and Mr. Corwine's Studio Art Class. The print utilizes photographic and digital processes. The figure does not exist – it is a constructed composite portrait of all the young participants. The surface text depicts personal, anonymous handwriting generated by the adolescents in response to the three prompts: I Am, I Will, and I’m Afraid.
In collaboration with Wellsville, NY adolescents: Anthony Geer, Chelsae Peterson , Holden Mack, Devyn Murray, Cheyenne Heath, Andres Smith, Riley Morse, Bryce Low, Katelyn Dickerson, Dakota Dickerson, Bryan Walsh, Ashley Ellis, Brogan Bailey, Sean Whitehouse, and Ashley Dressig.
