Jaye Scott Early

Check out these images by my new friend Jaye, slightly disturbing, very intriguing and extremely revealing. I love Jaye's use of perspective and his sense of self. I searched my mind for words to describe his work but i think he says it best....

"Primarily my work is autobiographical: Whether navigating hesitant paths of fragility and fear associated in the psychological surrender present in various sexual/private/public contracts, or the anxieties surrounding unwavering experiences of lonesomeness, and lack of any authentic connection with others -often exacerbated in an era of endemic superficiality, or the failure of culture to address my subjective sensibilities- sometimes resulting in laborious cycles of habitual and often vicious self- destructive patterns. Given this, an intention of my work is to consciously transform my personal dislocation/s into a visual strategy of disclosure. Another, less conscious, intention is to reach out to the viewer without the need (hopefully) to re-inscribe or idealize the hyper-subjectivity, ego, or sentimentality sometimes associated with documenting a lived experience. I’m less interested in breaking taboos, but rather more stimulated by exploring the reality in and between things and saying the unsayable-or perhaps giving some kind of uniqueness to what has already been said before."
