Ever After, Bedtime Stories by BV




The first is a skull called Ever After (Female) and the second is Bear. They are by good friend and artist BV. I think they live beyond the imagination. I've been shooting them almost daily since her show at SLab opened a few weeks ago, and only now am happy with my photography. The socket of the right eye, camouflaged by the fleurdemal, stares at me, as does the beadwork catching light on the bear's flank appears like a fleshy gash. I love it. People who have seen the show think it's 'cute'. That would be the last word I would apply to the selection of animals we have lurking. More like seductive, or dangerous, or as Tita G says 'Salbahe'.
