TITLE: Study in Black and White

A study of the human body in the form of body landscape, as an artist I found myself fascinated with a closer inspection of isolated parts of the body taken out of a point of reference and tightly cropped to accentuate the curvature. The use of fishnets further emphasises the curvature and my use of black and white imagery creates an Op Art type illusion. The images have been purposely presented in a way that makes it difficult for the viewer to immediately ascertain exactly what they are looking at. They are designed to provoke, intrigue and warrant closer examination.

Originally a study of the human body in the form of body landscape, however, as an artist I found myself fascinated with a closer inspection of isolated parts of the body taken out of context and tightly cropped to accentuate the curvature. The use of patterned fabric further emphasises the curvature and my use of black and white imagery creates an Op Art type illusion. The images have been purposely presented in a way that makes it difficult for the viewer to immediately ascertain exactly what they are looking at. They are designed to provoke intrigue and confusion, to draw the viewer in to interact with the work but ultimately they are there to be enjoyed.
