Ali Cleary - Objects of Comfort
 

Ali Cleary - Objects of Comfort
until 10th April 2010

Originally from Cornwall, Ali recently graduated with a BA Hons Photography and Film degree from Edinburgh Napier University in Edinburgh. She is now working in Scotland as a photographer and educational facilitator, further gaining appropriate skills and experience in order to develop the organisation Photography for Learning. She is fascinated by the powerful sociological and psychological possibilities of Photography.

About Objects of Comfort
The literal and physical object, slight in feature yet allowing the model distraction from the vulnerability of nudity, a security blanket masking the bareness of skin. The female figure as object, for it is the original home from which we came and the photograph as the material object, immortalising the beauty of youth, a celebration of the skin and the defeat of culturally or socially acceptable conventions.
