Sandy Skoglund


Sandy's work has extreme color contrasts and slight realism's that are over exaggerated and multiplied by a hundred. her art is eccentric and creates surrealist images. Her work is half realism and half artificiality.Credits say she creates environments with unparalleled attention to detail,and her work is extremely labour intensive,requiring far more effort than would be needed to produce a photograph alone.
Some of her influences were Disneyland and American horror movies she liked the whole dream or nightmare elements.It usually take months to complete one photo. I think that she is amazing at what she dose and she is the exact style that i love to recreate and strive to be like.She clearly means that its more appealing the eyes and is visually strong but dose not have any hidden meaning behind it or make you think about what shes trying to say but just is what it is.

  1. She definitely has a unique style and it was interesting that she did start with painting and film and moved into photography but did not want to do traditional work.
    It would be helpful if you separated or answers with numbered bullets or wrote in paragraphs.
