In The Pines

In The Pines builds upon previous explorations into the notion of ‘psychological portraiture’. Inspired by subjective experiences and a multitude of popular visual and literary depictions of the female psychological subject, this work utilizes various photographic technologies to convey an uneasy mental state. The title is borrowed from the popular folk song ‘In the Pines’ in which the pines have traditionally represented death, solitude and sexuality, while the lyrics themselves tend to appeal to a fictional female subject.
