WRAPPED ODALISQUE

Influenced by Christo’s wrapped buildings and structures I wanted to use odalisque paintings by male artists and place them alongside my photographs. Engaging in a conversation about voyeurism and the representation of the female form.

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.
