Juno Calypso

Calypso,J 2016, Honeymoon, Archival Pigment Print, 101 x 152.4cm

I have included Juno Calypso's Honeymoon series captured in a love hotel in Pennsylvania as a reference to the interesting locations and styling used to convey her message that challenges the female rituals of beauty and femininity. Although our concepts are different, I can learn from the set-design and styling of her work. As in Petrina Hicks work, Calypso works with only seeing details of hands and hiding the face to create drama and intrigue.
I also enjoy the 'oddness' even science fiction feel to the imagery through coloured lighting which I also plan to experiment with in my work.
