Duplicity

Over the past 25 years my practice has dealt with figure transformation. 
Duplicity, my current project, continues exploring this theme underwater. Since 2002 I have been using the 
shape- shifting quality of moving water and mirrored reflections. The challenge is to 
break apart the human body only to re-assemble it in an unfamiliar yet 
extraordinary way.

Figure transformation has been a predominant theme in my work. Over the past thirty years I have been operating as a painter but employing traditional photographic tools. I rework this canvas with a toolkit that includes clouds, reflections, plastic sheeting, cloth-encased figures as well as aperture, shutter speed and artificial lighting.
