CHRISTINE OSINSKI - EXPOSURE INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL

How can a portrait convey more than just a likeness?

These photographic images of young artists are extended portraits, made by combining lens-based images with physical components made with paint, pencils and collaged papers. I wish to move freely between media; hiding and revealing, displacing and connecting; each work a platform where disparate elements may have a conversation
