In these hauntingly beautiful and enigmatic portraits, photographer Joyce Tenneson presents a mythic and timeless vision of the female psyche, at once sensual and spiritual.
This dramatic and compelling new book is reminiscent of Tenneson's earlier work with the human figure seen in Transformations and Illuminations (Bulfinch, 1993; 1997). Yet it is also a bold departure. Tenneson's palette has changed from monochromatic colour to luminous dark browns and blacks, mirroring the enlarged scope and complexity of this latest body of work. Tenneson continues her own autobiographical journey and documentation of the universal quest of the spiritual warrior - each person's yearning to find one's own deeper essence and uniqueness. The themes in Tenneson's work - spirituality, the mythic journey, the female psyche - will resonate with a wide spectrum of readers interested in art, photography, and human development.
