Ron Brown

“Candy Boy”

ARTIST STATEMENT

I went into a candy shop on Valentine’s Day, and there was this little boy looking longingly at all the candy. I went behind the counter, got down to his eye level, and caught this moment in time. This is a wonderful image because it shows the intrigue of this child with rows of candy. More importantly we can all see ourselves in this image. The glass is symbolic of the barriers in our own lives that keeps us from over induldgeing our own desires.
