"Simply stated, Mandelbaum’s photographs detail close-up portions of the human body—eyes, mouths, nipples, tongues, eyebrows, necks, etc.—ambiguously and sensually presented; however, these photographs contain more than a simple figural quality. They are rigidly composed images, highly refined into mysterious prints which are the result of hours in the darkroom. Through detailed process, Mandelbaum solarized and manipulated her prints in various ways to create this textural viewing sensation."
I was introduced to this artist by Mark Ruwedel, she is absolutely amazing in creating her images and they go so far beyond the obvious nudes done so many times.
