Inspired by one of Roman Polanski's most brilliant films: Repulsion. A deeply disturbing, horribly convincing psychological thriller that is also that rarest of things: It is a scary movie in which a woman is permitted to do the killing.

Catherine Deneuve's glassy stare of anxiety dominates the movie: and Janet Leigh's empty gaze at the end of the Psycho shower scene: with light and movement I was inspired to create a familiar sense to these photos as Polanski and Hitchcock, as well as from the chaos, squalor and mania in Joseph Losey's The Servant (1963).

These photos aren't for the faint hearted or for those looking for the pretty picture..
