Inspired by a dark alternative vision of isolated masculinity. The black and white imagery, reminiscent of the highly contrasted nature of 1920s film, combined with modern qualities the subjects possess, meld together to create textural and atmospheric imagery. Stark whites, strong inky blacks and a violent tone, the series explores the evolving stylisation of armour and aggression. How this evocation of the instinctual has become coded in the male aesthetic, and exploring the duality this creates; the tug of war between the internal and external. Dark, gritty, visceral, and a fusion of modernised and classical masculinity, both aesthetically and historically; it seeks to locate the convergence between archetypal and atypical conceptions of the male form across the past century and beyond.
