Artist number ten is unique Jack Winbow
Body and form have always been distinguished concepts in my mind from an early age, a yearning to understand the vessel I was born in. In this self-portrait I wanted to section my body into smaller fragments to greater understand myself. Using the manual trigger in the image and tying the cord around my body to compartmentalise my anatomy. I break down the sections of my body to visualise my innate hyper fixation on my own form. As the wire reflects the curves and ridges of the muscles in my back, the eye is drawn down the image following the central groove of my spine. The faceless portrait and purposeful posing transcends the barriers of the gender binary and reduces my body into form. By taking part in this photographic exercise I hoped to understand myself better, but my journey isn’t over yet.
