Models of Resistance

In this new body of work, Angela Grossmann creates a series of intimate and erotic portraits of women using found “risqué” photography collaged together with images of vintage puppets and dolls. Though primarily black and white, the limited use of bright tufts of orange hair, bits of doll’s clothing, or scraps of pink lace creates a provocative set of associations. These portraits “play” with erotica, using voyeurism and exploitation as a starting point but ultimately transforming this into potent images of female empowerment.
