I picked up a thread recently. It was an image I made two summers ago while taking a workshop on photographing the nude. The image had three thin lines and skin. Lots and lots of white skin. People who saw the image knew it was a part of the body, but they couldn't locate it, weren't sure exactly what it was. The familiar indecipherable intrigued me. There was an abstraction that seemed to veer away from the literalness that is tied to the camera and to photography in general.
This month I decided to pick up the thread of that initial image and create a series of work based on the abstracted nude. Here's an image from this exploration.
