This is the final mounting for Tribal, posted earlier. I changed the title to "Queen of the Forest". And here's another mysterious photo...Can anyone identify this man? The inscription says "Lumiere" and, I think, A.S. below that.

She is "elevated" in stature by her new formal setting. I love how you make your previous work into new things. The morphing is TOO COOL. The man's identity --no clue, but he is a dish.
"Lumiere" could be the photo studio. He looks well made up as if for a production still...but I dinna hae a clew to who he is...yet...
Great assemblage :)
No idea about the picture. So, what exactly do you call your particular brand of art? Is there a name for this kind of thing?
Subby - Lumiére was the inventor of motion pictures, and also a film company. There is no accent on the "e" in this photo, however.
Charles- I am calling these "Altered Ancestors", they fit loosely under the title of collage or mixed media.
I'm liking these mountings of your altered ancestors!
The werewolf a few posts back is my favorite so far.
Hi Susan, Thanks for your comment.
I searched on Google, and this face is not any of the Lumiere brothers.
For their appearance could be the decade of 1910-1920, I suppose.
I liked the definition: "Altered Ancestors."
A kiss.
I like "Altered Ancestors" too... no idea who the man might be, but I´d wish to see such well-groomed examples of the specis around...
Love this totem!
The man in the photo is 'Alfred Shuttleworth' originally an American Vaudeville artist known as 'Max Bachowski' he left America and changed his name due to revenue issues. He became a big hit in British Music halls in the 1920's with his singing and comic tap dancing routines but died penniless and alone just before the first world war.
I guess the name is that of the studio. I wish you luck identifying him. Is he important to you for a reason?
P.S. If I were to guess a time period, I would say '20s or early '30s. Does that sound about right?
I don't know who he is but he has beautifully cut hair
Clearly, it is Arthur Sand Lumiere. He invented the cocktail wiener. Died tragically of spontaneous combustion while riding the Ferris Wheel at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Dear Usual Suspects:
Loving the compensation...
she looks quite Maori there..
loving the mounting you are doing.
Love Tribal. Managed to catch the exhibition "Skin" whilst in London, so extra-resonant tonight.
Ah, a puzzle... although the proposed solutions do seem eminently probable. Though not likely.
Stared and stared, but nothing coming as yet. Starting to look familiar, but then, he would by now. Something is making me think composer.
Titus....with those looks? Hmmmm....
I think I was following an Ivor Novello vibe.
Titus- Had heard the name before, but just googled him, I see what you mean.
This is Lord Lucan and Scotland Yard would like to hear from him.
i would say "Gatsby" but those eyes says someone completely different...tisktisk
