Artist Statement
My coming of age years spent in coastal Maine has deeply influenced my artistic practice. I have grown into my work as a manifestation of my childhood bushwhacking years. Memories, found images, and my own photographs converge into the totality of my work. Night time brings out unknown gawking faces and beaming eyes. I draw the woods, and photograph too — following the animals as if I were a hunter with a camera as a gun.
Artist Biography
Sybil Davis-Ebbeson (b. 1998) grew up in coastal Maine. Drawing was a gift at a young age that they carried with them into their adult years. In their early teenage years photography was introduced to them, inspiring a BFA in Photography at Maine College of Art & Design in Portland, Maine. Sybil makes art primarily for their bosom friends, but lets in others to look as well.
