Portraits, Faces & Figures

Portraits, Faces  &  Figures  
Portrait / Face images are  18x18”



















These are for me the darkest images, psychologically and emotionally, of the entire project, though the Persephone Series photographs are also very direct and intense.  Like the Persephone images, these portraits and figures function as self portraits, in a way, reflecting my feelings about how we, as an entire human race, have failed ourselves and the natural world.  Our greed and abuses, our lack of understanding, our lack of reverence and gratitude for that which we depend for our very physical existence, has caused the natural world to leave us.

These images put a human face on the departing landscape.            





   
     




























     Windswept Portrait   18x18”




Who has turned us round like this so that we,
                                         whatever we do, have the bearing of
                                         someone who’s going away?
