Sprawl

By Carrie Hawks | September 2009 | No Comments »

To be docile, demure and alluring. There’s often focus on the soft aspects of women, but why not celebrate the aggressive side of female sexuality? I’ve started this series using collage elements from clothing catalogs. I looked for the least threatening part of the model’s anatomy. Arms resting on a beach towel, arms hung to the side, or hands stuffed in a pocket. Sexuality has power. Not just to
be the object of attainment, but to actively pursue with confidence.
