Dye sublimation on aluminum, bespoke silvered frame

Photography of live model through a collaborative, dialogue  session with the model until a spiritual connection is shared and available to the image. The form is revealed or missing by digital algorithmic, building on hand applied body paint in the digital negative. Color shapes are digitally airbrushed over the algorithmic layers to form an expansive prism. She is printed onto metal using semi transparent sublimated dyes and retaining true specular highlights and mirror reflectivity.  The vivid,  liquid colors change in tone and richness based on the viewing angle creating an interactive contemplation.  The work is finished with a minimalist silvered wood frame and hang ready hooks. 

This composition is inspired by the empathy and energetic practice of the model, a close personal friend. She is simultaneously reaching to receive expansive, prismatic and complete energy and emitting it. She is photographed wearing only matte black body paint against black fabric in a variety of poses inspired by the spiritual dialogue of the photo session. The light absorbing color base for the subject-background relationship leaves minimal highlights in the photograph. They are digitally reversed to produce a majority highlight and metallic skin quality. The light emitting figure becomes the source, channel and container of energy expressed by prismacolor.
