Artist Spotlight : Eleanor Macnair
London-based artist Eleanor Macnair uses Play Doh to recreate some of the most iconic photographs in history.
Reportedly, Macnair was inspired by a pub quiz night where participants had to recreate well known artworks out of Play-Doh. Amused by the results, she went home and continued in her experimentations, having now amassed a number of recreations of famous works from people such as Alec Soth and Diane Arbus to Nan Goldin and Man Ray.
Her works have been on display at Kleinschmidt Fine Photographs in Germany and at Los Angeles’ Kopeikin Gallery.
