Comment on Part of the Problem? by Dave https://dancersintheparks.com/2012/01/22/part-of-the-problem/#comment-17879 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:58:07 +0000 http://dancersintheparks.com/?p=438#comment-17879 Bodies are bodies. They are not scenery, nor are they objects. It is impossible to remove attraction entirely from this unless you are successfully dehumanizing these people. You simply aren’t doing that.You aren’t hiding their form behind ultra-loose fitting garments, in fact you are doing the exact opposite. You are working with the form of a body, curves, lines: human elements.

The real question here then would be: Is this a good kind of attraction or bad? Are the elements in these photos presented in a way that is empowering and uplifting intellectually, spiritually, physically, personally and socially to women and to men? Dance is an emotional, sexual, spiritual, physical and intellectual art. It is a human art. Dance that continually misses these elements falls short of the art form. Certainly all dance doesn’t have to be all of those things at once, but they are definitely part of it. One of the things that I find compelling about dance is that it plays with this spark of vitality that is intrinsic to being human. We are alive and dance explores that and all of the elements of being alive. What I think is both challenging and rewarding in your work, is the combination, and sometimes juxtaposition, of such a “human” art with inhuman surroundings. It is jarring sometimes, but interesting none-the-less. In some of my favorite of your pictures, you have keyed in on certain crossover elements, things that exist in both the inhuman and human world: elegance, grace, majesty, even hardness or non-aesthetic elements, and have brought them out in your pictures.

The video above is bringing grievance against art that is pulling down women, making them less than they are and should be. You certainly aren’t doing that. When you are at your best, your work is very human. I would hate to see (and I haven’t) that element missing in your work due to reactions of other artists’ work that are demeaning toward women.

The body position mirrors the fence and the perspective is enhanced by her horizontal leg; it fades into the horizon with the fence. Such amazing work!
