Wrapped Human Body



  • What will you be wrapped with? May use more than one material. All materials must be approved by me.



  • An elegant, maybe sheer, sheet


  • How are the colors and textures of the materials you chose significant?



  • Choosing white to expose the purity of the female body as it is exposed to the world around her. The sheet itself signifies sex in its most obvious sense- seen in the bedroom.


  • How is the material significant? Are you taking the materials out of it's original context?  Or using materials because of associations?



  • The material is significant because it relates to the bedroom where the female figure can be seen underneath. I want to drape more sheets around the figure so the eye can get lost following the form, or not following the form.


  •  How will you be wrapped? Loosely? Systematically? Combination?



  • Loosely in some places, but tighter around the hips, chest, and neck.


  • Pose? Will viewer be able to recognize human form? Or will body blend in, be camouflaged in environment?



  • Lying down in a somewhat like the pose seen in Venus of Urbino.


  • Where will photo be taken in the photo studio?  If so, why are you choosing to eliminate info and focus on the wrapped body? Will the wrapped body be standing? sitting? crouched? lying down? curled up? limbs extended? back to viewer



  • Originally I was thinking photo studio, but I may choose my own bedroom to drape the sheets and have the figure lie in front. 


  • If not shooting in photo studio, what site have you chosen?  Why? How will the wrapped body interact and/or be part of the chosen environment? Will the wrapped body be standing? sitting? crouched? lying down? curled up? limbs extended?



  • Either in photo studio or bedroom. The body will seem natural as it lies amongst the sheets draped around her.


  • Will you include any props?  If so, what will you include, how will you use and why are you using?



  • No props other than the extra sheets!


  • Are you choosing to leave some areas exposed (this would be 5%)?  If so, state what body parts you selected and why.  



  • Half of the face, specifically the eye will be exposed. Her form can be viewed by the world around her but she views the world around her from her own perspective

  • Model: Caroline Brady




    Wrapping the model with wet sheets symbolizes sensuality of the female body. She's positioned to reveal her femininity as well and expose her body as it is perceived by the rest of the world. Leaving her head unwrapped was not only for her own safety but to show her awareness of how she is perceived and how the senses play such a role in sexuality.
