		<p class="bigdouble">The title of this show came from an accidental juxtaposition of signs at the Santa Cruz 
		Beach Boardwalk - Fascination + Women. In the combination of these two simple words a major portion of my 
		work as a photographer is summed up; a fascination with subjects and stories, and visually arresting photos 
		of women as they see themselves or as seen through the eye of a male photographer. Fascination: Revealing 
		Women explores a heady blend of edgy theatrical scenes, subversions of glamour photography, and unruly 
		sexual dynamics. In opposition to stereotypical fashion and model photography - which treats women as 
		interchangeable blank canvases - this work uses improvisation, unconventional props (including masks
		 and fetish objects) and body distortion to reveal the hidden sides and traverse the unpredictable 
		 extremes of beauty and the grotesque.

		<p class="bigdouble">Myles Boisen is a visual artist, musician, and record producer. As a photographer he focuses on unconventional portraiture, musicians and band photography, and abstract portraits using long exposures or experimental secondary lenses. His music photographs have appeared in numerous publications (Electronic Musician magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Moscow Times, Curve magazine). Boisen's photos of local musicians, dancers, artists and dramatic productions are also well-represented on CD artwork, personal websites, Facebook and Myspace.
		In his musical life Boisen has worked with Tom Waits, Fred Frith, John Zorn, film director David Lynch, the Tigerlillies, Kronos String Quartet, and many more as a guitarist and/or recording engineer.
