...ones shown in the exhibit serve much the same purpose.At first glance, Ducharme’s photographs are strikingly bold, reminiscent of finely detailed portraits. The magnification of the dolls’ faces to ten times their original size, combined with a serious enhancement of color manipulated through the use of Photoshop, creates a larger-than-life appeal that resonates with the spirituality said to be embodied within the dolls. Ducharme says he chose to focus primarily on the katsinas’ masks, or faces, because the Hopi themselves concentrated their efforts largely on the details of the dolls?...
