"I would like my pictures to look as if a human being had passed between them ... as a snail leaves its slime.” (Francis Bacon)
This
series of photographs, begun in 2013, is an exploration of the themes, moods, and artificial spaces suggested by 20th century artist Francis
Bacon. The Anglo-Irish artist famously used movie stills, tabloid images, and
popular photojournalism as inspiration for his sometimes disturbing and controversial works.
The accompanying
images are for an upcoming exhibit at Glazer’s Camera in Seattle. They comprise
only a portion of the continuing series and have images from locations as
diverse as residential West Seattle and the cemeteries and catacombs of Paris.
All proceeds from sales of
the collection will be donated to the Photo Center NW: http://pcnw.org/
