Precious

Seven digitally manipulated photographs as C-type prints each 50 x 60cm. Unframed, mounted on Foamex.  


In this work the interior of the body is represented as a decorative surface; invested with an aesthetic normally reserved for the exterior. Images of plastic surgery were manipulated in Photoshop to present a seductive contradiction to the sensations of fragmentation and repulsion often experienced at the sight of exposed flesh.

Precious was made during a residency at Oxford Brookes University.
