THE MAKING OF THE LIGHTSHADE
Mixed Media. Cotton, enamel paint, nylon, plaster. 13th November, 2006
This work was made for my kitchen area. The concept is in regard to the loss of my hair.
A few years before, I had asked a singing student (who was a hairdresser by trade), to trim my very long blonde waist length hair.
When she had finished she had actually cut most of my
hair off without me realising. After that I decided to dye my hair black. Jealousy can be such a pain in the ……
PEA AND SPOON
Treated Plaster. @ 1 metre length. 2005.
The ‘pea’ is actually the size of a small basketball. This was made after my uni studies were completed.
It was sold shortly after making it.
BREAKFAST SCULPTURE. CIRCA 2006
Breakfast Sculpture. Mixed Media. Circa 2006.
This work is a wall hanging. Who wouldn’t want to have a breakfast like this?
Raw bacon, green bread and butter, squashed, cooked tomato,
hard peas, and two eggs that have dripped off the plate, down the wall?
TURTLE TRAY
Treated Plaster. 2006
This tray is basically, my fruit tray at home. I needed something different,
as my house is very different in its decor.
STUDY IN PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS (SCULPTURES)
These works were a study in W.S.U. Bach Fine Arts 2005 in researching plastic shopping bags.
These works are the sculptural result. Above is the 3D sculpture, which has ‘waves’ of ‘cave rock’ where
tiny lights can be inserted into the sculpture for a decorative wall light,
and below is the Relief work- a flattened carved work.
THE BEAUTY MYTH SERIES- BUSTS
Top: Bust made of graphite and cement, with treatment finishes. 2004
Below: Bust made of plaster and latex with embellishments of needlework, stitching and cotton thread.
Like The Beauty Myth Series photographic images in this section, these two busts portray the inner female,
and the outer female. The top bust showing a female with one eye open, and the other eye closed.
Her hair ornately coiffed. She is the inner part of the female psyche. The Animus.
The bust below represents the female with a face made of latex (representing plastic surgery).
On one side of the face, the latex has been cut open from the molding underneath,
then resewn representing the stitching required for remodeling.
Here too, her hair is coiffed, and her face renewed.
She too, still looks inward, but her exterior represents the Anima,
which is needed to take on the action and causality in deduction and change.
