Ambiguous Relationships: Sacred Body/Sacred Ground by Douglas Beasley

My photographs are spiritual metaphors that explore the relationship between self, other and the sometimes vast space in between, which contains them and sets them free from one another. The combinations resonate willfully yet unknowingly with each other, expanding past the borders that confine them, creating a new space with metaphysical boundaries. The ambiguous relationship is both mine with the subject, and the viewer's with the relationship between images, creating an emotional rather than physical connection between pairings. hopefully asking more questions than they answer.
