Conceptual nominee

A series that explores the fragmentary nature of split personalities, and the need to mask one's true identity from the world. Hidden personality traits and personas are paramount this "Film Noir" influenced series of monochromatic images. I have used studio portraits as the primary basis of these artworks, manipulating and forging these fragmented identities of the self - with my usual dose of Film Noir esque aesthetics. Mystery, subterfuge, hidden darkness, Femme Fatales, and ambiguous criminological narratives converge here to leave the discerning viewer with a plot that has to be carefully dissected and deconstructed through these masked protagonists.
