Show Us Ya TitsOngoing 2006-2012 “Breasts have often been a subject of the photographer’s gaze, as persistent icons of femininity and sexuality. They play many roles throughout a woman’s life, and it is these varying functions that Gemma-Rose Turnbull investigates in her ongoing series Show Us Ya Tits. In both documentary-style shots and more intimate photographs Turnbull explores the relationships and perceptions both women and wider society have to breasts and the female body. Delving beyond their much celebrated aesthetic appeal and the prevalence of breasts in pop culture, Turnbull examines how the bosom might represent wider issues such as gender identity, motherhood, health and the ageing process. Her revealing images are made all the more compelling by text accompanying the work; stories relayed by the subjects, offering the viewer further insight into the complex nature of these relationships and interactions.” Yolande Norris |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
