Play

The games we play as children are rehearsals for the roles we play in life. Traditional toys for girls nurture homemaker stereotypes, simulating traditional domestic roles through play. In these photographs, I am exploring the possibility of the same staging taking place with the prolific, but publicly hidden occupation of prostitution. By constructing these scenes in miniature, I project representations of the sex industry onto the medium of the conventional doll house. As polar opposites, the homemaker and the sex worker are highly constructed and restrictive roles, the most deeply-rooted myths of the feminine.

Recreated from many sources of representation these constructed spaces can be peered-into and examined.

Pole Dancer

Pole  Dancer a photo essay showing the day to day lives of a group of exotic  dancers from around the world who, have made London and its adult sex  industry their home and workplace. Its a misconception that all the  girls that work in this industry are on the game and are nothing more  than hookers that dance.

Many are professional dancers some, are  even ballerinas who cant get a full time job in their profession or  have come to the end of their professional dance career but still need  that exhilaration they get when they dance in front of an audience.  Whilst, others are putting themselves through college or sending their  kids to private schools with the money they earn.

They are the  ones in control, the ones that have the power and they know it. These  are not usually weak women. They are strong-minded individuals who are  comfortable in their skin which, is more than can be said for a lot of  us.
