This is a superbly illustrated look at the latest work of photographer Bernard Clark. Drawing on Bernard Clark's success as a documentary photographer of ink culture, this publication features his composite portraits of tattooed individuals in landscape and architectural settings. In the eighteen recent works featured, Clark has digitally inserted his extraordinary subjects into surroundings that highlight the stridency of their self-definition through markings. The main essay points to the ways in which Clark's sensitive and at times playful displacements highlight the contemporary role of the body as a refuge of stable identity and personal expression.
