graves at midnight

This image is part of a series that I am creating with Miss Aniela, some pieces of which we will be exhibiting together in Laguna Beach, CA in the summer. Before that, we will be showing together at PhotoLA, a big photography expo that lasts 3 days, all thanks to the JoAnne Artman Gallery. While plans aren't finalized, hopefully she'll be coming here to LA again and then I'll be traveling back to London with her when the expo is finished :-)

 

In this image I wanted to create the feeling of a statue by painting the skin white and draping white fabrics over the subject. Her pose implies movement, that of a dancer, reaching up, but the still fabric and texture/color of the skin proves otherwise. She is caught in time, standing forever in this position, reaching up toward this beam of light but going nowhere, trapped...like a grave at midnight, caught in the moonlight.
