Mike Dicky, Tinsmith

Sharon Lockhart's *Mike Dicky, Tinsmith* is a diptych of chromogenic prints that presents its subject with the quiet, methodical attention characteristic of the artist's practice. The two-part work examines a craftsman and his trade through Lockhart's measured, documentary-influenced lens, balancing portraiture with an interest in labor and material culture. The chromogenic process lends the images a rich, luminous color quality that elevates the everyday subject matter into a carefully considered formal composition.
