‘Humanism’

Inkjet digital print

At the start of the year the aim of my folio was to create a body of work that represented what we can’t see when looking at the human body. I was clear I wanted my image to be portraiture with a single central focus and dark studio background, that emulated the aethereal, luminosity of Bill Henson’s depiction of skin and the anthropomorphic lines of the body, juxtaposed with the jagged edges and pop of brightness that the bone possesses.

At the beginning of the year I had a strict idea of what I wanted to do, and that was a similar idea but instead of collage I wanted to use projection. However, after my potential directions and having to adapt my work to be able to construct it at home I soon realized that collage both looked better and was easier to create in isolation. I focused more on collage in my folio, it reflected a more natural looking juxtaposition of bone and skin specifically with the smooth paper I printed on.
