Catherine Black, Photographer, Melbourne

Description

An abstract, dramatic photography captures a single human figure, androgynous in appearance, seated on a black metal chair. The person sits facing backwards, away from the viewer, with their head bent down. The chair is elaborately wrapped in layers of beige-colored ribbons or strands. The environment suggests a dark photo studio, indicated by a reflective floor and a black backdrop. The lighting is dramatic, casting shadows and highlighting the textures of the ribbons and the curves of the human form. The composition is carefully arranged to emphasize the chair and the human form.
