Ryan McGinley’s Moonmilk

by | Dec 15, 2009 | PHOTOGRAPHY

Moonmilk has the feeling of a mind-bending sixties flick like The Trip, except it is in a cave, not a party and there are no drugs involved but the colors dammit, the colors! At base level, the images are of naked friends diving, holding, crawling, swimming in a maze of tunnels with primary colors lighting the way. Delving deeper, a visual metaphor of mental and sexual exploration inside a giant melting brain? Mental inside the mental right? We are all about it.

I created Richmond, Virginia’s culture publication RVA Magazine and brought the first Richmond Mural Project to town. Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
