WITNESSES
The impetus for this project came out of the remarkable photographs that emerged from the Gomery Inquiry. Although the resulting series of portraits has nothing to do with that event, I am grateful to the news photographers who managed to capture that rare and fleeting moment when a public figure betrays a private truth.
Viewers are asked to imagine a graphic novel from which all the heroes have been excised, leaving behind only the villains and the fools, and to supply their own narrative for the story that exists somewhere among these lost and venal faces.
