More DescriptionThis is a photo book with one hundred photographs of amazing women on the theme of Industrial Nudes. The theme includes urban exploration, abandoned places, factories, machines, and, of course, nude models. With the nude form set against unnatural environments of concrete and chrome, this series contemplates the contrast between the mechanical and the organic; the clean and the gritty. Even the strongest human body is slight and delicate when compared to the rigid, bulky elements of the industrial backdrops. This theme of industry includes places of manufacturing, construction, as well as completed structures. It is, at its base, a commentary that compares an idealized "human as an animal" to humanity's perpetual expansion into nature. Some scenes are devoid of the natural world, while others show where industry protrudes into the natural world. The images also celebrate the beauty of industrial achievement, by showcasing icons of mechanization in conjunction with the splendor of the human form. The images are intended to be contemplative rather than declarative, introduce topics for discussion rather than expressing opinions. The presentation is mostly visual and individual interpretations will vary if one draws any conclusion at all. Artist Aaron Knight is fascinated by the mortal form set against a rigid, gritty industrial backdrop or gleaming machinery. He has explored numerous locations full of concrete, steel, flaking paint, chrome, and rust. Some are abandoned and decaying others are part of bustling small businesses.
