Ghosts Within #3

Ghosts Within #3Ghosts Within #3 wall art print in deep black and white a young woman in a heavy black turtleneck, her face crossed by a sheet of translucent material that bends like water across brow, eye and mouth. A single soft key light catches the curve of her lip, the wet edge of her gaze, the dark wave of her hair lifting into smoke at the crown. The image sits in the still psychological register of Paolo Roversi and the soft tonal weight of Roy DeCarava

Where the companion frames let the veil drift over the whole head

the kind of light that arrives about twenty minutes before evening commits to itself

Hangs in squared format

The light is soft

so nothing in the picture has to perform

no horizon line you can place exactly

by frida — a 35 mm Mediterranean wall art print made from inside a long sun-warmed afternoon on the Spanish coast

The most cinematic piece in the Edge of Suspense series

nobody approaching it

where pale sky settles into a thin band of mid-blue

a few guests in mid-conversation

palms leaning against the heat
