Prop Portraits 1999-2000
"Bush has worked in a variety of formats, subjects, and mediums for more than twenty years with a concentration on the theme of identity as defined by possessions."
"The Prop Portraits series, shown in 2000, was shot with his usual large format camera in the flea markets of Los Angeles. Produced as large-scale Epson color prints, his subjects were selected from the market crowd and shot posed before a semitransparent scrim holding the objects they selected. These people are thereby situated temporarily in a private space, their purchases or props becoming a trophy of their identity and passage through life."
