About the Item
Ford William is a self-taught artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. FIGHT FLIGHT FAWN FREEZE is Ford's debut solo exhibit and features sculptural and other 3D painted work on wood.
FIGHT FLIGHT FAWN FREEZE is an imaginative depiction of the four primary stress responses humans instinctively deploy when we sense danger. The show reflects on some of the issues our stress responses can cause, including when we are in "survival mode"—when we (often without realizing it) spend an extended period exclusively trapped in one or more of these four stress responses—as well as the maladaptive nature of our stress responses in modern-day society.
The show's concept stems from Ford's experience—having spent years living in the unconscious and unsustainable chaos of survival mode—and his journey of learning (and unlearning) to move towards a healthier, more stable, and integrated existence.
After exiting survival mode and coming online again, Ford began making art to practice the skills needed to help prevent re-entering chronic stress-response states in the future. Specifically, he makes art to practice self-compassion, tame his inner critic, and move away from the shame-based avoidance and anxiety that were the root cause of many of his behavioral patterns.
Ford creates playful, imaginative, and often humorous pieces that have been described as folk, outsider, or naive art. Themes in his work frequently relate to aspects of mental health, various absurdities of society, or information learned from his years spent obsessively researching anything & everything as a means of avoiding his feelings.

- Not So Thin Red LineLocated in Nashville, TNThis stunning abstract by contemporary artist, architect, and designer Ana Carolina Mönnaco blends a beautiful variety of colors that make the piece jump off the canvas. This piece was made for the artist's exhibit, "Blurred & Fractured," at Modfellows Art Gallery - WeHo in Nashville, Tennessee. The piece is hand signed by the artist in the bottom-right corner and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery. Mönnaco’s history in architecture has pushed her to peer past the structured world in which we live, to convey the unbound world which surrounds us. She is interested in the continuous reaching of life. She says, “we live with this blurred and fractured vision of the world, yet inside each of us there’s an undeniable conviction that something beautiful and perfect still exists beyond our grasp.” In response to this, Mönnaco uses a sophisticated color palette and inspiration found in the beauty of the natural world to create rich environments which encapsulate the viewer by surrounding them with wonderment of the unknown. About the Artist: Ana Carolina Mönnaco is an artist from Curitiba, Brazil, where she developed a love of art and architecture. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating in 2002, she joined Morris Architects in Orlando, Florida. Mönnaco has won many prestigious awards including the International Watercolor Masters Merit Award, the AIP 24 Juror Award, and the AIP Hugh Ferris...Category
