The title "Moonmilk" is from the myth behind the build up crystalline deposits found on the walls of caves..............its believed to have been formed by light from Celestial bodies passing through rock into darkened worlds below.........
Ryan Mcginley's new body of work is a series of trademark nudes but this time in a totally un-incidental setting.........infact quite the opposite..........apparently he spent a year exploring undiscovered "Wild Caves" across North America as the backdrop for this ethereal project. The result is a soft spectrum scene of stalactite's and stalagmites resulting in a distinctly 70's looking story of images.........here is my favourite "Christopher (Pink Double)" ..............which was echoed in my new Levi's courtesy of Craig Lawrence who recently gave me this pair of grey jeans which Ive dyed soft pink and unconsciously wore to view these pastel pictures...........perfect!

i saw the series online and i love it. i have always had a problem with his work but i find these just sublime and a merge of ideas that transcend. When it comes to NYC ill definitely be in line.
