Herman Mhire’s<\/strong> recent photographs began as meditations \u2028upon the forms, colors, and patterns\u2028 of marine mollusk exoskeletons\u2028 found in oceans around the world. \u2028As his approach to image making evolved, \u2028he altered the forms of the shells \u2028and placed them in imaginary environments. \u2028Gradually, other forms from nature were introduced including leaves, flowers, and butterflies.\u00a0A recurring pattern in his work consists of making straightforward photographs of a particular subject (human faces, sea shells, flowers), which inevitably leads to manipulation\/alteration of that subject. His training as a painter and print-maker heavily influences his approach to photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
