Concept Boards Drafts





Double Exposure

From Photo Trouvee

A multi exposure is when two or more individual exposures are made to create a single photograph. The photos are similar to Jenny Savilles drawings, showing the movement of the subject and/or photographer, creating the appearance of more than one subject, and a joined and distorted form.

Freddie Robins



"My studio practice questions conformity and notions of normality, and intersects the categorisation of art and craft. I use knitting to explore pertinent contemporary issues of the domestic, gender and the human condition. I find knitting to be a powerful medium for self-expression and communication because of the cultural preconceptions surrounding it. My work subverts these preconceptions and disrupts the notion of the medium being passive and benign. My ideas are expressed through an exploration of the human form and have resulted in pieces such as "Odd Gloves" and "Odd Sweaters". These series question physical normality incorporating both humour and fear"

William Hundley : Things I do In My Garage

I like the way William Hundley connects different objects to create one piece. I think the way we see conjoined and even non conjoined twins like this, although they are two separate people we see them as one. Their relationship is so unique, to outsiders it can be a strange and alien thing.

Jenny Saville

These drawings by Jenny Saville show the subject in different positions, so you can see their movements. Their limbs look like they have been removed and repositioned until the figure distorts and it is difficult to see a complete human form, instead it appears there are many people in the picture.

Conjoined


What are conjoined twins?

Conjoined twins are generally classified three ways:
  • 73 per cent are connected at mid torso (at the chest wall or upper abdomen)
  • 23 per cent at lower torso (sharing hips, legs or genitalia)
  • 4 per cent at upper torso (connected at the head)
