about “Streetheads”
These photographs are of everyday people in and around New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Printed on Canvas, I’ve eliminated much of the background and scenery with acrylic and oil paint as an experiment to focus on the most obvious portion and focal point of the photograph, the revealing of ordinary, yet relevant faces. Hence, this is a mixed media piece. By having the subject in a white space, almost portrait like, it is meant to give the observer opportunity sojourn and relate to the person(s) in their state of existence; a private moment left to the imagination as to what they were contemplating amid the fleetness of their expressions, as we all at one time or another have experienced these same types of moments in our own lives.
