BODIES

In Bodies, I have created anonymous abstract nudes, with the goal of stripping away sexuality and leaving the body as the material of sculpture. I don’t believe the physical form of one’s body retains any form of sexuality or gender, this all is located within ones mind. I view the body as clay for its holder to mould. With this series, I worked with each individual to capture their bodies without any form of manipulation except posing and perspective. A visual documentation of beauty in varying forms and moulds that each individual has created through the journey that is their life.

The human form is much like the vase, they have each long been forms for decoration, containers for growth, tools for story telling, and even trophies longed after, stolen, and broken. Georges Braque stated that “the vase gives form to emptiness” much like the human form gives our own emptiness form and purpose.
