ELLEN STAGG – MELTING FLESH
2010-05-31Ellen Stagg shares her multi-exposed mix of bodies at Fuse Gallery.
A phantasmagoric mix of bodies, light, sex, and ether reside in Ellen Stagg’s multi-exposed photographs. Stagg embraces the unexpected and opts for a toy Holga camera using film and Polaroid over the manufactured guise of digital. The multiple exposures cause the women’s nude bodies to melt into one another as well as their surroundings.The fluid nature of the images produced through the manipulation of light leaks, finger prints and film type – offers the viewer a surreal visual that is simultaneously in flux and static.Each piece is presented in a unique steel frame constructed by metalsmith Sullivan Walsh.
