Chiaroscuro (chi-a-ro-scu-ro) [noun] - the treatment of light and shade
'Chiaroscuro' began as a photographic series referencing the 'stations of the cross', yet as the collection matured it transcended its original incarnation becoming more secular - removed from the confines of esoteric religious dogmatics. Etymologically 'Chiaroscuro' can also be translated as clear and obscure and thus the series undercurrent of Christian themes takes on greater resonance. The clear being the transition from a static state through frenzied motion, whilst the obscure transfigures from incarceration, metamorphosing through suffering towards an ethereal spiritual entity, be that a refugees plight or a more corporal metaphor of a body struggling with disease. The figure's face is deliberately shrouded throughout the series so that he becomes a motif... an everyman... a pilgrim walking his path.
