Mission statement from Harvey B-Brown & David Scheinmann

We began a collaboration producing mixed media meta-portraits combining our respective skills of fashion design, narrative film making photography and digital art. Our work explores the iconography of identity under the banner Adored&Adorned

We created A&A Editions as a way to make our work more widely available through printmaking.

Aanda is the product of our latest exploration into identity. We have devised a shifting non binary multi-ethnic character who journeys through the 7 ages of life comprising birth and infancy, childhood, teens, young adulthood, middle age, old age, dotage and death.

Aanda encounters the relatable highs and lows of this right of passage, while reflecting the world around us in all its beauty and ugliness.

The Brave new world of NFT s is the perfect home for this concept. With a new image release or ‘drop’ into the NFT marketplace every two weeks, the 7 ages of Aanda will have 182 images over 7 years. With 26 images a year. This will be a time capsule from the 2020s minted on the blockchain for posterity.
