Three Works from 2010
These montages were constructed from photographs shot over a few years on black and white film (usually Ilford or Tri-X) using a very old Nikon FM-2. The negatives were scanned and output as inkjet prints. They are part of an (unfinished) set called "Drift". The first two works are called 'Drift', the last one is called 'Pastoral'.

Two Works from 2010
Two works inspired by the Dutch Still Life tradition. The attempt seems to be to make some kind of comment about time, sex, politics and death. Everything (including the cat) was set up in the studio and shot.
'Shards', 28" * 42"
Archival print on Ilford Fibre Silk, June 2010
'Delta of Venus', 28" * 42"

The Translator (2009)
One of a series of portraits of 'ordinary' people with not-so-ordinary histories. These invisible histories are indicated in the misc-en-scene as well as in the details. The classical format (in terms of composition and lighting) is to emphasize the fact that in the history of portraiture it is usually the powerful who have had the privilege of being represented.
