This is the very last available edition in any size of "Pretending", James' most popular piece he's made thus far!

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.

Collector size, edition 3 of 3. Includes black, white, or maple frame. Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl archival paper.
