Artist statement:

“You are really indecently vain of your appearance”.

At the moment, this project is only at its research and
experimental stages. These ten photographs show my first steps to
a complete project. Mainly I am concentrating my work around B.D.D (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), which is a preoccupation with an imagined physical defect in appearance or a vastly exaggerated concern about a minimal defect.
I am also dealing with beauty products and how they are used to form the body in a way that is pleasing to today’s media saturated society. The products and vast advertising control our notions of physical appearance verses reality. Is it our vanity, our inner sickness, spreading to the outside of our bodies, which we perceive as hideous deformities?

Questions and comments/ideas would be greatly appreciated from fellow artists.

Edward Kelly
