"I think that sexy imagery is the easiest imagery to understand. There is a difference between sexy and pornographic, and there is a difference between high culture and low culture."
Autumn Whitehurst's personal work focuses on the female body, but in the context of commercial commissions, she has created work for clients such as Coca-Cola, Sapporo, Vogue Italia, British Elle and Lillet. Living and working as freelance illustrator in Brooklyn, New York, Whitehurst believes that fashion is how we marry ourselves to a moment physically and her efforts as an illustrator are aimed at merging this fantasy with reality.
