What do bodybuilding and photography have in common? Marie draws parallels between the two to explore gender constructs and how they play out across the body
Clare Strand’s latest project presents a series of negatives printed onto translucent paper. “The offer’s there,” says Strand, “People can make their own prints and then they have the images themselves, or they can keep the book as it is.
