Murmuration

“I’m interested in connection, which is a provocation of the art world in a way. Critics and writers are not at all interested in beauty. They find it outdated, I find it to be the opposite.”

  • The deer and the dresses, these pieces invite different viewpoints. Some people see my art and they see something peaceful, some see something dark and frightening.

  • Once on Little St. Simons Island, off of the coast of Georgia, Todd saw a stark white stag amongst the Spanish moss. He was mesmerized. The deer’s spirit lingered with the artist long after he had dashed back into the wild.

  • A photograph reinvents the scene in winter: a white stag standing in the midst of an ethereal forest, covered in snow. The work is a montage, a forest of twig, carefully reconstituted by the artist. The encounter is retold as a poetic vision.

  • Since, the stag, in white or tan, is an essential figure for the artist. In another one of Todd’s pieces, a regal, life-sized stag is represented with three-dimensional branches growing out of the picture. The effect is striking, merging the animal with his forest.
