The following images were the start of an idea I have had for several years now. I have had a fascination with ball-joint dolls and loved the idea of posing one in nature. Following the concept of "Flat Stanely", I started experimenting with the idea after I was gifted with a Body Kun drawing mannequin one Christmas. The following images are a result of the exploration of that idea.
As I began my photography and experimenting with posing the Body Kun drawing mannequin, I began to get bored with my images. During a photography course in Fall 2021, I tried to challenge myself. My photography class provided me with the opportunity to push myself and to take more risks. Below, you will find several images taken during the extent of the class, along with an art video. I still have a long way to go before I feel I have truly said what I want to say with my images. Though, I am not even sure what it is I mean to say. But I suppose that is part of the journey.
