A COLORFUL GRAY AREA

a colorful gray area – the work of Brigitte D’Annibale and the art of blurred lines

Brigitte D’Annibale is obsessed with the tension of juxtaposition. 

“Salvaging stories from the past to shape the stories yet to tell,” she writes. 

Themes of her work explore contrast; old and new, surface and depth, who we are and who we have yet to become, destruction and creation, distraction and introspection. 

This article was written for the January issue of The House Magazine.

JACEY DUPRIE

on authenticity in the digital world

“I don’t even really like the word balance. I just don’t think that there’s such a thing for me. I don’t believe in it. I’m the type of person that, wherever I am in that exact moment, I’m giving 110%, and I’m just there. And for me, that works because when I’m with June, I’m with her 100%. If you see me posting to my phone, obviously, those are quick little ten-second moments. But I’m not on my phone. I’m not thinking about anything else. I’m giving her my undivided attention. And when I’m away from her, if I’m actually taking the time to be away from my daughter, you better believe I’m going to make it count.”
