Photographic artworks reflected in lacquer

 

Time is suspended, like an image conjured up from a dream, the place and time of which cannot be recalled.
 
Breathe is constructed as an afterimage, dissolving the boundary between painting and photography, and changing our perception of a fleeting, shifting memory through blur.
 
I photograph my models reflected in panels of traditional Asian lacquer, which I glaze. The model melts into the lacquer, its contours dissolved, leaving only the sketch.
 
This confusion gives my work a different interpretation of the body, portraiture and movement.
