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.
