Sensual and Spiritual Erotic Art
The first work I encountered of Jaeda DeWalt was one of her
self-portraits with mannequin figures. The plastic look of the
figures is softened by the usage of light and shades of grey.
In this black & white photo the human body is almost equal
to the mannequins surrounding it. It's the same with the pose
of Jaeda, it makes the human and plastic body's blend together
as a group of equals.
The main difference is the anonymity of the mannequins and the
individuality of the central character. You could say that she
reveals her individuality this way. Does she express her sexuality
as a female here as well? In a way there is a sexual aspect in
this picture. The nakedness, the sensual lines of the body's against
each other, even if most of them are not for real. But on the
opposite there is the non-interaction and the static poses. This
duality makes this image intriguing to me.
What I also experience in her work is what's best to describe
as visual silence. It is one of the things that gives the work
of Jeada DeWalt the serene intrinsic beauty. The images in this
gallery are almost all self-portraits of the artist. She describes
it as a way of seeking answers to who she is and what se will
become, a personal journey we can witness.
The Artist statement:
The body is perhaps the most beautiful canvas of expression. The
camera can provide a location of where we're at on this road map
of life. Nudity in itself is not sexual, but rather, it is sensual.
I feel sensuality is a state of mind that walks hand in hand with
spirituality. In my photography I seek to express the sensual
and spiritual in all of its magnificent colors, textures and feelings,
as well as exposing the darkness that lingers within us all.
