Pretending

from $199.00

***The very last edition of Pretending is now exclusively available on FellowArt in celebration of their official launch! Check it out here if you’d like to be the last buyer!

The process for creating Pretending was as multidimensional and layered as the final image. Inspired by MGMT’s “Time to Pretend”, this photograph was taken in-studio with model Nick Boisseau.

So many interesting and fun techniques create the final work! To create the image of the clone figure that floats parallel to Nick, James photographed pink slime as a photo assistant stretched it between his hands and later used baby oil to create a realistic sheen for the clone. The final image is a combination of over 25 photos from the shoot that embody the wistful abandon of the song that inspired it.

Starter Size | Ideal for salon walls and small spaces (~10×10")
Standard Size | Budget-friendly, ready-to-hang archival print (~18×18”)
Statement Size | ⭐️ Most popular ⭐️, head-turning, striking piece (~30×30”)
Collector Edition | Only 3 made 💎, completely redefine a room (~42×42”)
