Portraits of the Missing

Part of a long-term project examining the nature of identity and human recognition through the use of “missing” posters placed in remote locations throughout the American Southwest. This specific body of work stems from an attempt to re-contextualize the traditional notion of portraiture by replacing the sitters with facsimiles, then positioning (and re-photographing) those facsimiles in landscape settings which, in theory, would not normally associated with a thriving human presence.
