A belated description. / This is an ode to unhealthy relationships. Not the ones where you have an argument every once in a while, or maybe lots of little ones all over the place, but otherwise everything is peachy keen. This is to the other kind, even or uneven, where one or the other has to protect themselves, in all kinds of ways. Do they stay and learn how to take it, or protect themselves better? Or do they lose everything except their freedom and fly away? I have placed the ‘fight’ bride in a small area that is cramped and hard to breathe, holding her dress and hair up as a barrier. Whereas our ‘flight’ bride has lots of space to move, is making herself free of the confines of the dress, taking down the barrier.

“The best mirror is an old friend.” / -Unknown I hadn’t seen or spoken to my old friend Zoe for many many years. When we were just in primary school we were the best of friends, we could laugh for hours about absolutely nothing… When we did this photoshoot we were quite surprised to find that not much had changed after all this time. She made me remember quite a few things about myself… I can only hope that my future will hold her friendship once more. She is my little lost treasure….

One of a series of collages and paintings of my daughter doing ballet as a starting point. The photocopier has been used as a camera.
Mixed media on velvet. Watteau was a painter from the Rococco period. It is linked to the Enlightenment as opposed to the rationalist, moralistic rigour of Classicism and drama of the Baroque, ending around 1760-1770. The themes of his art were simply change, transcience and the brevity of each moment, which make his work more important today with this relationship to historical context. Highly influenced by Rubens, it can be argued that his work could well have been more daring than Jeff Koons’ with his eclectic work such as ‘Puppy’ a huger sculptor with metal armature with its own irrigation system to water the surface made of flowers. There is the temporality issue in his work, which relates closely to the issues of superficiality in Postmodernism.
I am interested in the impact of art on fashion and fashion on art, especially the Rococco era with its preoccupation of collecting, identifying and cataloguing of new plants and flowers. It resulted in fashion moving away from heavy fabrics of the Baroque to the light and fluid fabrics, and characteristics of asymmetry, naturalism and surface decoration. By painting, collaging, textile elements and other found objects, I have rendered realistic images of 18th Century costumes ambiguous and semi-abstract forms. They are depicted upon Rococco patterned backgrounds such as Mechlin lace exploring such technology as photo-transfer on materials such as velvet, canvas, linen, perspex and board.
