Kiki Smith

I am currently doing my sketch book for my current project "Image Time" and remembered an exhibition that I saw last year in Barcelona that would be useful research for it. The exhibition was by the artist Kiki Smith "Her Memory". I forgot how much I loved it. It was truly beautiful. An exhibition full of sculptures, drawings, stained-glass, mirrors, photographs and a variety of objects that refer to important episodes in the circuits of existence as seen from a female viewpoint. Her work is characterised by a constant reflection on human existence and on life and death; and her drawings of the human body, which are both traumatic and poetic. I found the exhibition so beautiful and felt I would share her work to you all and recommend you all to take a look at her work.


I have just purchased another book by her and can not wait to read it!









Here are a few images of her work from the exhibition I saw. I hope you like her too!

Work Experience on the ASOS shoot.

I have just come back from my four days work experience with the Photographer Victor De Mello for the new ASOS clothes range shot in Brighton. It was a fantastic experience and I learnt so much. I had an exhausting four days, getting up at 6.45 every morning and not finishing until early evening but so worth it! Even with all the heavy lifting!

Victor is a fantastic fashion photographer who has worked for the likes of Grazia and the Sunday Times and shot many famous people. I love the angles he gets and his crops. Check out the website http://clicksandcontacts.com/ to see his work.

The new ASOS clothes coming soon are beautiful. All aimed towards the festival season and holidays but I will definitely be checking it out when it's available and I suggest you do too!

Live Mannequin

A project commenting on the fashion industry and models. While I feel that models are beautiful and skinny for a reason, so all clothes look amazing on them and sell, many have a problem with their portrayal of beauty and being idolized as the perfection. Therefore my photographs are of a boy and a girl as a mannequin. I used real people and using white paint and the help of Photoshop made them into "Live Mannequins" to make the whole idea of perfection extreme. That models may as well be replaced with mannequins, as we can make them flawless, into anything we want.
