Sarah Jones - my review of her work

Sarah Jones work is very simple yet very complex.
Most of the time, her work contains only a single figure or model, however her work does communicate constant narration without much movement.
For this reason is why I really love her work.


Take this image for instance. This one is titled Camilla (I) and was photographed in 1998.
This image can hold a lot of different meanings, such as hiding from pain, looking for something under the bed, monsters that hide under the bed, or even a child's game of hide and seek where kids often hid under the bed.







I love these her works because they are exactly what I would like to create in my work.
I would love to be able to create something this cosmic and spectacular that can tell a story or many stories through the use of one still or one image. The viewer doesn't even need to know the real story or the real meaning behind the work to be able to relate some aspect of their life to them or even to identify something within it.
