The Awakening / Not Cha - Limited Edition Photography by Tawny Chatmon

Art Description

Photography: Digital, Color and Manipulated on Paper.

“The Awakening” focuses on familial bonds, motherhood, fatherhood & celebration of childhood. Loosely inspired by the work of Marianne Stokes whose portraits often showed the fine details of garments that were floor length and embroidered.

​My camera remains my primary tool of communication, while my constant exploration of diverse ways of expression moves me to add several different layers using a variety of mediums. After a portrait session is complete, I typically digitally manipulate my subjects and unite them with other photographic components to achieve a work that is a new photographic expression (often lending to them the eyes of someone their elder). Thereafter, I may montage antique patterns and textures, vintage botanical and wildlife illustrations or hand drawn digital illustration. If I feel I am not yet complete, after each portrait is refined and printed, I may combine paint and gilding adding ornamental elements inspired by 19th century artworks.

This is a limited edition print of "Not Charlotte" in size 20x24. This is a small edition of 15 printed on 20x24 Hahnemühle Rag 308 fine art paper. Limited editions are signed and numbered on the back and printed with an additional 5cm white border.
