"Garance" from Femmes d interieur
"Ines" from Femmes d interieur
"Marianne" from Femmes d interieur
"Solange" from Femmes d interieur
"Sylvie" from Femmes d interieur
There isn't a lot I could find about Elene as far as a biography goes, but her series Femmes d interieur was very clever to me. The way she uses the furniture as the body for all of these women was quite clever, especially Sylvie and the way the pillows are used to create her gown. Solange is also interesting as the form of the chair echoes the form of a sitting woman so well that I almost see an actual woman before I see the sculpture. I appreciate the sculptural aspect of her work in conjunction with the photographic aspect as both are achieved spectacularly. It's a bit funny how these women are combined with furniture that seem to relate back to their garments. The only one that is a bit asynchronous in that regard is Marianne but I can almost look past that because her adornments are quite minimal as is. Usdin's imagery remains fresh despite the similarity of the content which is paramount in a series where the same sort of things are appearing in all of the images. My series is ultimately going to be in the same vein, so creativity of vision is going to have to be something I am considering throughout (as should always be the case, I suppose).
