Shadow Portraits
The images below are documentation of performances I did in my studio. They were influenced by my past work in theater, dance, mime, and movement in early adulthood. Performance can be seen in many of my pieces. Using my body, some props, lights, a scrim, camera, and a computer, I created these images. They were projected on a wall for a studio performance, later printed on rag paper dipped in beeswax, hand-rubbed to create a rich surface with depth. The images were mounted one inch from a vertical surface in groups, with the curling edges of the rag paper creating a photographic wax-like object. A sampling of these grouped images can be seen at the bottom of this page from a 2013 installation at a old wear house.
