The subject is a simple one – a lamppost banner heralding an exhibition of watercolors, prints, and illuminated books of poetry by the visionary William Blake at New York’s Morgan Library and Museum. I wanted to photograph the banner as if it was the embodiment of Blake and his art – ethereal and often mysterious.
I placed the banner behind a layer of branches, allowing the blue field and part of the sensuous figure to peek through. I oversaturated and underexposed my image in the post processing, creating my own tribute to this amazing talent.
