KK. Curls, Swirls and Waves, 2011 (in process)
This series of photographs originated as conventional color images of a woman’s hair, cascading down her back in interesting formations and interactions. The color was converted to monochrome, and the photographic presentation became a subject for experimentation - multiple images of varying densities, photo grids, some use of manufactured color, framed high-contrast images, and inauthentic hues further saturated beyond “normal.” The subject was a spectator seated two rows in front of me at a bluegrass festival. She was not aware of my picture-making activity.
