Ivy Red
Hawks builds his sets himself
Ivy Red: Photo by Aaron HawksI shot with Aaron Hawks a few years ago in San Francisco. I posed in a torturous corset, alternately sprinkled in flour and dowsed in ice water, in Hawk’s freezing cold loft. It was the most brutal shoot I’ve ever done- and I’m insanely proud of the results.
Hawks shoots with film, in room sized sets he constructs himself. His work, darkly fetishistic, is objectifying in the best sense of the word- turning the human body into grist for his disturbing visions.
I’ve never been good at high-art thinky thoughts, so I’ll let this man’s work speak for itself. Check it out.
