Collar
ARTIST
Lorraine Burrell
ABOUT THE WORK
The image Collar is one of a series of four staged photographs (Collar, Egg, Bell, and Flower) made by Lorraine Burrell that refer to images within the triptych ‘Garden of Earthly Delights’ by the Flemish Painter Hieronymus Bosch, painted around 1503-1515. The props the artist makes inside her studio encase and constrain the body in contrast to the wanton abandonment within the central panel of ‘Garden of Earthly Delights’.
