Mundane and macarbre - Alison Brady

Alison Brady’s photograhic series strives to “create dichotomies between the sensual and the horrific, the beautiful and the destructive”. Her mostly faceless subjects are victims of violent crimes depicted in sweet as pie, suburban backdrops.

She says her photographs “work to stimulate unconscious emotions, desires, and sexual compulsions, all unified within a dynamic that vacillates between the real and the fantasized. I explore issues related to madness and alienation as they exist in contemporary culture, concentrating on expressions of neurosis, on feelings of anxiety, displacement, and loss of identity. These emotions are depicted in terms of visual conflict through my imagery, and manifested in terms of grotesque exaggeration”
