Mannequin Studies in Black and White
This series began in 2020 during a period when I was working with mannequins as sculptural forms. The figure used here was rescued from a rubbish skip, collected as a set of discarded limbs and later reassembled.
Working closely with the form, the mannequin became both object and surrogate figure. With softened focus, the photographs sit somewhere between presence and absence, intimacy and distance. Details dissolve into suggestion, leaving space for interpretation.
These studies explore the tension between the artificial body and the photographic image. Removed from the retail environment where mannequins usually perform, the figure becomes something quieter — a form, a surface, a gesture.
If a photograph from this series interests you, prints may be available. Please get in touch through the Contact page for enquiries.
