About The Work
Creationism is Barron Claiborne's subversive portrayal of the religious belief that a supernatural being created humanity. In this photograph, humanity is represented by five nude dolls and the supernatural being by a human hand holding them—all glowing gold against a black background. Known for his thoughtful and provocative imagery, Claiborne says, "Sometimes you have to make people uncomfortable to get the photo you want." This work, disturbing yet engaging, exemplifies his ideology.
