About the work
Sculptor Juliet Haysom is interested in 'doubleness'. She says, 'I noticed that a silhouette of a figure ... could be read as either a front or back view. However, like Wittgenstein's rabbit/duck figure it could not be seen as both simultaneously.... In this series I drew onto photocopies of postcards showing women in landscape to push them into this ambiguous position.'
