My body of work is a satirical comment on the overdramatised advertisements of large fashion brands. My intention was to make the work both alluring and repulsive, incorporating flesh and gore to represent the insanity of how fashion brands advertise their products. I sourced authentic animal and gore products and applied them to my models while taking photos, resulting in different constructions for each item: pinning the brains to the shoe, gluing the tentacles to the model's face, using meat's natural stickiness to wrap around the bag. This both successfully conveyed my concept and limited my use of after-photo editing.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Tara Sellios, Neal Auch.
