Recently came across his work in a book called The Body: Photo works of the Human Form by William A Ewing, a book on the beautiful, bizarre and revealing secrets of the body. I particularly like his self-portraiture work on the fragments of his own body because he is simply showing what the body is and stripping away perceptions; 'not beautifying it' no hiding, no distorting, just the human form it all it's fascinating glory. He also claims to have no interest documentary wise in his own body. He says 'My photographs recall the memories of the human race' (Quote from The Body:photo works of the Human Form: chapter: fragments, page 50)
