Spray Side Silhouette, Chaz Howkins, 2015, spray paint |
While spray painting my black Barbie series, I placed the dolls on white pieces of paper so that I could document the process and create these silhouette-like pieces. I think the simplicity of these images makes them appear sinister as they suggest the presence of a doll, or an elongated lifelike creature, without fully revealing it - an illusion of suspense.
