Cindy Sherman


I like Cindy's work because it shows a raw and true side to the fairground, her images are beautiful, simple and ever so slightly sinister. But one the other hand she does have some very creepy and colourful images of clowns looking sinister or sad. She takes a spin on how a clown is supposed to be viewed and how most people view them. Scary, sinister and eery.
I can see similarities between Ciny's work and my work, its very inspiring and I cannot wait to get on with my exploration of this concept.  Clowns wearing mask and hidden identity or the simple ness of a circus/ fairground the structure lying just below the surface.
