Michale Hurley and Samantha Staley

Works were a collaboration between Michael Hurley and Samantha Staley.  Samantha set up the model shoots and took digital images of models in various poses. We edited these shoots and I manipulated the chosen images in photoshop. I then wrote a program that blew the image up pixel-wise, split into precise divisions and output a set of smaller square images.  These digital images were then placed like tiles on canvases that I had covered in wallpaper, painted with roofing tar and painted a sillhouette of the pose. Samantha currently works in the film industry and resides in Hermosa Beach California.

Michael Hurley paints, develops websites, and surfs in Marina del Rey California.
