Fetishism
Fragmentation
Femininity
This is some of my most recent work, the brief was originally a study of the Dada movement, chaos and irrationality, and from there my thought process kind of spiralled into some slightly stranger places- i adored Hans Bellmer's dolls and Nobuyoshi Araki's shibari and japanese bondage photography. Fleet Ilya's leather work and Givenchy's latest couture collection were also influences. The main concept developed from a quote I found from Bellmer talking about the dolls-
"i tried to rearrange the sexual elements of a girls body, like a sort of plastic anagram... The body is like a sentence that invites us to rearrange it, so that its real nature becomes clear through a series of endless anagrams..."
One of the recurring themes of this project was flesh, bulging, contracting, metamorphosing and endlessly renewing itself...
