I came across Jane Burton recently when I was on amazon.com and found a book called "Erotic Ambiguities." The cover photograph, which amazed me, was by Jane Burton. Her photography drew me in to buying the book and furthur researching her as an artist. Come to find out, her work possesses the same ideal and concept as I am trying to possess. She focuses on the emotion of the female nude by placing them in an isolated environment. This semester I am still playing around with this idea and the concept of body language, something I have never focused on before. I want to bring depth and meaning into my work while presenting some sort of emotion to the viewew, whether I am the subject or someone else unknown. I find Burton's work intriguing because her images are very ambiguous, presenting different meanings to them, however they are all powerful and make you want to keep looking. Burton also explores the psychological concept of the female body leaving the viewer unaware of the outcome of the image, which I have found very helpful in my research thus far.
