This series confronts the expectation of perfection in today's consumer society in a way that is simultaneously beautiful, disturbing and challenging. The evocation of a sharp contrast between imperfection of the chosen consumables and the perfection of the human form challenges each of us to reflect on our views about the impact of this on our values and its persisting effects in our daily lives. A campaign by the French supermarket chain Intermarché is on a mission to make shoppers see the inner beauty in scarred, disfigured, or otherwise odd-shaped fruits and vegetables.
Prue trained at the National Art School in Sydney in Graphic Design as a prelude to a career in the fashion industry and undertook further training in Fashion Design at Harrow College in London.
Prue worked in London, where she regularly exhibited her own label at The British Designer Show, and Milanovendemoda in Italy. Now living back in Sydney, Prue attended various digital photography courses at the Centre for Photography.
