About Black Lustre

Black Lustre is a study of the face as sculpture. Across eight portraits the hair is pared back, the wardrobe kept to black and the backdrop to a single neutral grey, so that only light, expression and metal change.


Sculptural earrings in gold and silver catch the light, a red lip appears and disappears, a hand rests at the lip or the throat. The restraint is the point: the face itself becomes the form.
