The abundance of figure painting in the Italian Renaissance has deeply inspired my work by making me aware of the versatility of the body, with its foreshortening and curves, skin tones and proportions. The ceiling frescos of Raphael’s Rooms in the Vatican were what inspired my series of people tumbling throught the canvasses. This series was an exploration of drapery, bold colour, and contorted bodily positions. On the left, is part of Raphael's fresco, while on the right, Mike is doing a jump off of a tree stump as warm-up for the trampoline photo shoot... thanks Mike and Rachy for being gorgeous models!
