About
Why this artist matters now
Jeanne Dunning makes photographs that treat the human body as abstract form, isolating flesh, skin, and physical mass in ways that render the familiar strange. Her work focuses on corporeality, pressing close to surfaces and contours until anatomy becomes ambiguous and disorienting. The images sit at an uncomfortable threshold between attraction and repulsion, clinical observation and visceral intimacy.
