Gregory Crewdson

Crewdson likes to use themes of anxiety, loneliness, mystery and seperation, all played out in areas of jarring domestic banality. In his huge digital chromogeric prints produced from 8 by 10 inc negatives, lies warped psychological world of strange figures, unsettling symbols and improbable collisions of the ordinary and weird. There is little in his pictures that makes sense and nothing is explained. His photographs allow the viewer to always bring their own story to them.

Crewdson tells narratives in a completly different approach to the other artist/designers that I have studied. he too produces narratives throught a lense and yet his approach is done in a completly different manor to Sherman. His images look like stills from actual movie sets, he unlike Sherman is never present within his works which are produced on a grand scale. Little makes sense within his work I think that it what makes it so appealing as it allows you to make up your own narrative or judgement of what you think it is he is trying to convey.
