Visual sculpture …   This is an example of how Jim Duvall uses shibari techniques to shape bodies into poses they cannot attain.  He is a Seattle based award winning photographer and founder of the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival.  In its 10 year history, The Seattle Erotic Arts Festival has grown substantially, moving into the 36,000 square foot Seattle Center Exhibition Hall in 2008, and in 2011 into the 50,000 square foot Fremont Studios.  In 2012, they expect more than 10,000 attendees during its week long event, June 16 – 24.  It very successfully celebrates art that is rarely seen in mainstream galleries and museums.

Here  are other images Jim Duvall will display at the the Art of Contemporary Shibari Exhibit. You can see images that will be displayed by the other world class shibari artists and photographers here.
