1/1, 2014, Inkjet prints (holga images film), 32 × 32 inches

These images were made in 2014 when I was sick in bed with shingles.  I had hoped to be in London at a retrospective of Lucien Freud’s work, and I think it was his influence that lead to these pieces.  I shot them with a Holga camera and recording film.  (It was a film speed invented to capture a photo finish in horse races.)  I like what the speed does to light and skin making the work look like large scale pointillist figure drawings.  The volume of the figure and the grace of the muscle and balance are what I was after. - D.F.
