Mano a Mano

The series explores the hunger and desire for men to dominate and exert power over one another through unarmed physical violence. I drew from my collection of dolls and enlisted a variety of reflective and textured surfaces to stage my images. All are lens-based single shots using natural light. In terms of my post capture process, I reverse the image as well as manipulate the color and tonal values. I expect the result to have a handwrought quality not unlike those often found in the technique of reverse glass painting.
