Coming to your emotional rescue - Lee Miller... Fiddling around with Man Ray's idiosyncracies!

I'm experiencing a rut artistically, so I've gone back to working on loose pieces of raw canvas to keep the flow going...


It appears that Man Ray, surrealist photographer, made a habit of slashing his photographs of Lee Miller (his muse and lover) at some point in time before and after their rupture. I mimicked solarisation to repair the cuts, a process Miller rediscovered herself and popularized along with Man Ray in their hay days...

Miller remained independent and went on developing her own career as a photographer.
