Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman is a unique artist her mainly focus on portraits or self-portraits and fashion. She puts in a lot of work in designing the costumes she utilizes for her photographs. She really shows the power of make up in her work, how you always make a person appear different every time. One of the work I think she was very successful in was her series of clowns cause most of her pictures are her but appear to be a different person every time. One of her pieces that I found was the film strip she did while she was in college, of the doll getting dress and putting her self as the doll. She animates it the old fashion way of cutting and pasting each frame. Also reminds me of William Kentridge's work how she puts her work together...
