The figure in Graham’s Disintegration III (1977) crashes into the frame, blurred out of focus as if falling through a dark void. The figure’s sense of motion was inspired by photographer Duane Michals’s stylistic use of sequential images. The lack of detail in the figure and lack of physical surroundings obscures the subject’s identity. Graham (b.1955, Watervliet, NY; lives and works in Saint Paul, MN) received his M.A. in 1979 from the University at Albany, Albany, NY, and an M.F.A. in 1982 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Knoxville, TN.
