Item Description

Title - Holly Hughes, NYC 2010
 
Size - 11” x 14”
 
Medium - Silver gelatin print.
 
Edition - #1 of 10. 

Over the last decade, O'Malley has collaborated with scores of downtown New York artists to create a photographic archive of, by and for those who inhabit the peripheries. Set against backdrops of what seem to be the last empty rooms in a neighbourhood reeling from takeover, these portraits derive from the informal rituals of languid afternoon visits and unhurried conversation. While the choice of the silver gelatin print casts her unconventional subjects in enduring relief, O'Malley's unschooled process bears the marks of imperfection that lend to its intimacy.
