Analysing the role of the model through art historical and experiential perspectives, Blake advocates a new way of understanding modelling according to which it might become an artistic practice given particular motivations on the part of the practitioner and the contexts within which they locate themselves. Borne out of his experiences working as a life model at the RA, Blake\u2019s ongoing lecture series \u2018Are Life Models Artists?\u2019 has appeared at venues including The National Gallery and RCA, receiving national press coverage. He is a contributing writer for Aesthetica Magazine and The Charleston Press. A book sharing the title of his lecture series will be published in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phil.uic.edu\/profiles\/eaton-a-w\/\">Prof A. W.
