Lately, I find myself increasingly drawn to fashion photography. Vogue in particular has had some really interesting spreads of late usually relegated to the European editions where I assume they think Europeans have a broader aesthetic- (true?) they tend to stay with safe images for the American market-which is unfortunate. But it seems like there is a bit more creativity going on- and I love the way a "big lady" gets splashed on a page in some really visually provocative setting like the desert or an abandoned warehouse-love the starkness.
I am enjoying transferring some of these images to the clay --already set up for the stark earthy background by the very nature of its own elements...the clay takes on these images of the ladies and floats them into an ethereal place--
a place to ponder and dream perhaps...
