Nick DeFord creates works using collage, text, memorabilia, cartography, embroidery, and elements “altered to examine the relationship of identity, space, and place.” Applying iridescent, translucent sequins, DeFord obscures the head and torso of the woman found in this black-and-white photograph. The shimmering embroidery acts as a veil – creating a mythic figure whose identity is subsumed in mystery. Haunting and lovely, this unique work will be a powerful addition to your collection.
