Thesis project... not quite there yet.

This is work By Susan moore. Her work was suggested to me by Paul. I quite enjoy it. It really emphasizes on the tattoo itself. I also enjoy the fact that the tattoo is put on, what i would consider, normal bodies. the figures are not idealized in anyway. It sends this message that tattoos aren't just for "attractive" people and that tattoo is more about expression than a decorative ornament . The emphasis of the tattoo is kind of what i'm going for in my work but at the same time, i know i can't do work like this. It is similar to what i have planned which is displaying a tattoo on the body. However having a tattoo on a figure i feel is too simple of an idea and it doesn't quite get the point across that Tattoos are Art. And when i say art i mean, high Art.
