Paper cuts

By playing with the page and not the body Damien Blottiere works as an artist but thinks like a surgeon, cutting and pasting the face and body and constructing new forms of appreciating beauty.  While this may not be a novel technique, what makes Blottiere present a unique perspective is his understanding of the fashioned body. This shift in responding to we how regard future bodies plays with our obsession with beauty, while notions of what we can begin to expect to achieve through cosmetic surgery are reminiscent of artist Paddy Hartley's 'Face corsets', created to temporarily simulate the effects of cosmetic surgery.
