The works in the show consist of intimate and evocative portraits, created as photopolymer gravure etchings on paper.

Several of the works in the show highlight the intensity and eloquence of the eyes and hands, our most expressive features. Others use close-ups of the body to give us enigmatic glimpses into the human condition. Images of people together, whether touching or apart, reflect the bonds and boundaries of their relationships.

A number of works illustrate the dichotomy of the more impersonal, yet strangely intimate, world of social media and smart phones, wherein our connections have taken on an ephemeral and intangible quality that is redefining human interaction.

Whatever else the images may express, the connections made between model, photographer and viewer remain an underlining current in every work.
