Looking into other artists to further inspire my work and ideas I came across this piece by Joel-peter Witkin. As it has an obvious relation to my work with a suspended girl. However after further analysis of this piece I discovered that that was the only thing this had in common with my work.
The work of Witkin is more abject than graceful; much of his work is disturbing and hard to look at.
The work of Within did give me ideas that I could experiment with in some of my photographs for example; the position the model hangs on the ropes, as well as the different backgrounds I could use and also the idea to maybe leave the ropes in some of my images.
I feel like this particular artist isn’t the type of road I want to go down and as he has only produced this one piece in this way it does not give me the volume of work I need to do proper artist research from.
