Created for the exhibition "In Place: Contemporary Photographers Envision an Art Museum" Tina loved the idea of photographing in the Griswold House for its visual complexity. Her technique consists of creating compositions with the sensitivty of an Old master painter, putting the models in place and instructing them to pose, she exploits their indeterminate facial expressions. This work depicts artist Pola Ester.
