Bodies and skin

Throughout the project I have been doing observational life drawings, of women of various sizes and shapes. Like the work of Jenny Saville, the bodies I have found the most interesting (visually and symbolically) to draw have been larger ones.

As with Saville's paintings, what appeals to me is the lines and shapes made by the body, so my next piece is a photographic work that focuses in detail on areas of the body that are not generally regarded as "beautiful". I have also drawn significant influence from the work of Giron Mathilde, whose work also focuses on the creases and curves in bodies:
