The Sum of Our Parts

“The whole is greater that the sum of its parts” – Aristotle

These images are collages assembled from the thousands of individual photos I created over a period of ten years, with the help of many hundreds of volunteer models. They are intended as fascinating visual arrays that both amuse and intrigue. They also have a particular social purpose relating to the body parts involved and I created a pair of fundraising posters for Breast Cancer using the same imagery.

The same parts of hundreds of people arranged in a regular grid pattern is analogous in many ways to my famous Great Wall of Vagina sculpture. By their accumulation and juxtaposition the array takes on greater significance than the sum of the individual parts. Aristotle was right.

Each photo was shot using an adapted scanner, which creates high resolution details of the fabrics and a soft presentation of the skin tones that holds an intimate fasciation. On closer examination one sees how this method slightly distorts and abstracts the body, separating it altogether from fashion or glamour photography and setting them in a class of their own. This library of images has led to other collage series such as the Bra Spangled Banners.
