Sandy Skoglund

A short study of Sandy Skoglund's photography...


I find Skoglund's work particularly eye catching because of her use of bright, vibrant and sometimes contrasting colours in her work, like the above image aptly named 'The Cold War'. I think this photograph, along with her other work depicts a very strong message and gets it across well, for instance the way the viewers eye is trained towards the middle where the person is bigger, however the army is smaller yet, more of them, overpowering the 'enemy'. Another image that is quite meaningful is the below photograph 'Revenge of the Goldfish'...






I like the fact that she incorporates an aspect of surrealism into her work, while again focusing the eye on a particular part of the image. The final photograph, 'Body Limits', i believe, to be an unusual piece. I like the way Skoglund uses aspects of both live models and sculpture/3D arts throughout her work.
