Tom Chambers was born and raised on
a farm in the Amish country of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since 1998 Tom has
devoted himself to photomontage for sharing the intriguing unspoken stories
which reflect his view of the world and elicit feelings in the viewer.
In this photomontage, entitled, “Pieta”,
we find the iconic
representation of Mary with the body of Jesus. Through the use of warm hues,
the tone of the image is passionate and inviting. The use of a strong
directional light originating from high in the scene attributes a divine
presence to the theme. The use of the reoccurring spherical shapes found in the
halos, the light globes and the arch in the doorway compositionally tie the
image together. In all, I found Chambers technical prowess with integrating the
elements inspiring.
