Mug Shot Portraits
This ongoing series is painted from mug shots. Inspired, in part, by photographic mishaps, such as, the painterly quality of an over or underexposed print. I then turn a painted image back into a photograph (with the use of digital negatives and historic photographic processes) to further explore the confluence of painting and photography. In doing so, I capitalize on the ability to create print multiples of an image that are then over painted to make unique permutations.
