"A black circle ransacks art history. Appropriating works and ideas, taking aesthetic cues to shift from one idea to the next, Return to Point uses the simple shape to disregard the chronological art canon and instead determine its own."

The Body

In theory we've been discussing 'The Body' in relation to Eva Hesse's modernist sculptures, and how images which directly or indirectly reference skin, muscle, organs etc often make a very direct emotional connection with the viewer. While critics such as Michael Fried criticize Hesse's work because the impact of such purely physical, gory images makes them feel uncomfortable, it is obvious that references to the human body are powerful and perhaps even more so on a massive photographic scale.
