WRAPPED ODALISQUE

Influenced by Christo’s wrapped buildings and structures I wanted to use odalisque paintings by various male artists and place them alongside my photographs. I’d then obscure or hide the body. Engaging in a conversation about voyeurism and the representation of the female form. As well as the male gaze specifically that of the artists. Wrapping the model made me think of sculptures or artworks being moved or put into storage. I felt that these sorts of paintings are under review or at least the artists view is. And I felt this was an interesting way to represent this.
