Photos of female sculptures

The sculptor Don Brown has made portraits of his muse and wife for 15 years. In this exhibition the portraits are photos, seemingly black&white. From the photos we can not be sure if this is a real woman painted white or a white sculpture. The figures are beatiful but at the same time quite scary.

As his sculptures usually are smaller than life-size it is easy to understand they are not a real painted woman. But on the photos all sense of size disappears. The photographed woman may be gigantic, life-sized, or miniature. You will never be sure if she is of flesh and blood or plaster.
