To elongate...

(work by Jean Paul Gould)








An exploration of the neck and shoulders in their raw, vulnerable state. Contrasted with my intention to manipulate, alter and disguise the natural form of these body parts, through different shapes and silhouettes.
In further examining the power of the bare flesh one could say that even though such imagery brings upon sensual and erotic connotations without clothing, there are no hierarchy, just an even nakedness.
'A group of naked people-humiliated in a prison, ecstatic in an orgy-become
anonymous and speechless.Even in our dreams and daydreams, in memories, in
friendship and in love, clothing is never absent.Nakedness is an
exceptional state (Lauwart 2006, p.173).'
