The portrait works of Reifenberg have a special character insomuch as they are generated from small cut-up elements derived from found and collected plastic bags. In an artistic sense Reifenberg is a bagman in the most literal way. What begins with the use of a photographic source as an aide memoire, and as an instrumental point of departure, is then translated by small cut-up sections (or slivers) of a plastic bag, that are meticulously assembled and affixed in a manner that is visually analogous to a collage-mosaic. In consequence each cut-up plastic element forms both the image and the necessary light and dark modelling of the realised representation. Having been placed on a stretcher the ground or surface of the image is also derived from an original plastic bag source.
