'Uncanny: 16 Mannequin Portraits' and 'Hell Is All Around You'

“Assembled as head shots for a modeling portfolio, these 16 portraits highlight the realism and individuality of each mannequin’s sculpt instead of emphasizing their intended use as a clothes hanger and selling tool. All 16 of these mannequins actually started out as portrait busts created by 3 different sculptors at one company. Spanning the years of 1978-1985, each mannequin bears the name of the person who sat for the sculptor. This group of faces belonged to models, friends, makeup artists, and other industry people. Each became a little piece of fashion history- some remembered some forgotten, but all helped define their eras of retail and display, and all became works of art in their own right.” -Aaron Graves

“The set utilizes photos I took over the last 10 years up until the final piece was finished late 2025 and reflects on the state of my world in motion. Some of these works have been used for fliers or shared digitally over this time and have finally been put onto a physical medium” -Mark Warm
