For this project we are focusing on the relationship between the figure and hand crafted object.
"If it's made to answer a brief, it's illustration"
I love Jean Jullien's work, as the bold, scaled up objects offer a huge contrast to the small figures in the foreground, whilst the similar bold colours tie them together still. This is definitely something I would love to explore in my work, as I think these bold paper shapes demand such attention within the frame.

The simplicity of Izumi Miyazaki's work is what struck me initially, as her clever use of exquisite craft along side simple photography of the figure make pieces which are surprisingly full of emotion and have a strong narrative. Initially the eye is drawn to the head and tomatoes on the floor, before being led to the shoe of a diverse colour which develops a story of how the head ended up on the floor.

Rita Ikonen's work also has a strange juxtaposition between simplicity and emotion, which results in a very humorous outcome. The strong contrast of white on the dark field also ensure the viewer is immediately drawn to her figure. In addition, the strong lighting ensures that the detail of the 3 dimensional costume is captured well by the lens and doesn't turn flat.
