Jason Captured

20 X 24 inch silver gelatin print.

Crabtree 1996

I can't help it but this is not a bondage image to me though Jason obviously intended it to be when he came up with the idea. I can't help but think of the "Visible Human" project on the Web consisting of a human cadaver sliced wafer thin and scanned so that its anatomy can be examined from any angle and to any depth under the skin.

Apparently the body they chose was of a murderer executed by lethal injection. Since I made this image Tasmania has had its first American-style gun massacre. Thirty-five innocent people executed down by one crazed gunman. I thank God that public reaction was to demand gun control rather than capital punishment.
