Robyn Cumming is a photographer unlike any other that I’ve come across. In the biography on her website, she says: “Her work is inspired by human beings and how tragic, mundane and impossible our lives can often be.”
I found the series of images, entitled “Lady things,” fascinating. Thanks to the previously mentioned quote, I interpret the photographs as Cumming informing the viewer that women have no face, they are all the same and possess no personality. I also love her choice of props, highly detailed and feminine for what I believe is a strong, cold message (although I could be completely wrong...).
I don’t find Cumming’s work offensive, but thought provoking. I find myself trying to unlock the message hidden within her work.
