Ashley Selects….Cindy Sherman, Complete Untitled Film Stills, 1977-1980
American photographer Cindy Sherman’s poignant self-portraits create a persona for the artist to inhabit and explore. In her work, the artist is revealed and yet remains anonymous; a picture of Cindy Sherman is instantly recognizable, yet I doubt one could recognize her on the street. I find this artist’s work to be incredibly compelling. Her photographs deal with women and their bodies; the constraints and abilities of her body and appearance call to attention my own bodily limitations. I have made work exploring women and their response to their bodies, a daily meditation for all women. Creating work that inspires dialogue about women and their bodies is, I believe, an ever-present need.
