PIksa Nuigini is a book featuring contemporary portraits of Papuans revealing the culture, custom and modern day changes.
“I use white and black bed sheets to create an outdoor studio that not only captures my sitter but also allows me to reveal the audience gathering and the environment around the sheet. This is meant to give the viewer a real sense of place and time. You feel as if you are on the streets of Mt Hagen or in a Sepik village. Had I used the backdrop in a conventional way, to isolate a person or people, you’d have the impression that they were taken anywhere– New York, Sydney, or in a studio.”
