‘INFLAMABLE LIQUIDS – KEEP LOCKED’ consists of eight large portraits, all with a fairly heavy dosage of detail.

Hair is a central part of this particular series and David Le Fleming chose his subjects not only for their oblique personal traits, but also because they’ve got a good way with hair. Clusters of motifs are herded through landscapes of hair, creating stories and associations that belong to the subjects way of being.
