Silhouettes & Shadows is an ongoing experimental project that examines the liminal boundaries of likeness using a minimum of subject information to generate the threshold of stimulus of sufficient intensity to produce a similarity. The process of capturing the mere tracing of a shadow cast by a profile, or

the simple outline of a body part, such as a hand or a torso or a foot, as a methodology to eliminate extraneous detail, becomes a portal into a new dimension of artifact. The question is “How much can be removed before likeness is lost or new likeness is revealed?”

Silhouettes & Shadows is an invitation-only project. Tracings can be arranged with the artist only through personal invitation from another Silhouettes & Shadows subject or by the artist himself. The Silhouettes & Shadows collection is a continuum of work that will be shown to the public in upcoming exhibitions

and at select venues where the artist is making a public demonstration of the process.
