Working at the intersection of landscape and anonymous portraiture, these large-scale photographs find new ground to explore about the human body. By exploding scale, they reveal not only the fascinating visual terrain of the body but also challenge our own hidden or unspoken biases about beauty, ugliness, body-image, race, sexuality, aging, and the thresholds of exhibitionism. Playing with the tension between attraction and repulsion, the images reveal a hyper-realistic amount of detail about the subject and explore the relationship between photographic representation and painterly abstraction, the formal elements in tension with the emotional content of the subject matter. Shot with the same "glamor" lighting set-up used for fashion images, these photographs subvert that process to look at what is real rather than ideal. Larger than life, these images become a vehicle for looking deeply at one's self and others.
