ABOUT

PSALM



Commissioned by Sixteen Journal, Psalm is an investigation of the relationship between the camera and the viewer through the concept of “Reclining Nudes”: In painting, the subject of a nude female reclining on a couch or bed was one of the traditionally accepted subjects. It was a way for the artist to study the human form and demonstrate an ability to communicate subtle aspects of a person's personality, status, or life through a respected form of portraiture.
