HOSPITAL SERIES. 2007

 

 

 

 

 

Hospital Series, 2007. Ink and Watercolour.

In early 2007, I was trying to hand rear a little 4 week old kitten . As I was feeding it, it was so hungry it accidentally took my thumb for the teat on the bottle, then a need for surgery to remove fragmented bones and clean up the site… and so started a long cycle of 14 days of one hour intravenous antibiotic to kill a serious staph infection that took over my body. The first two works were done while undergoing the drip, and the last one after it was done.

DEAD CATS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A SUMMER’S DAY. 2007

 

 

 

 

Dead Cats In The Middle Of The Road On A Summer’s Day. Circa 2007

 

I had a cat called Tab. Not what you’d call an imaginative name, but he was the brother of my other cat named Blackie. When Blackie had her kittens, she would sometimes leave them alone

while she went outside. Tab would come in via the window, set himself to business,

and clean the baby kittens so that they could empty their bladders.

Tab was a one of a kind brother. One day, I found Tab in pieces over my driveway. I was devastated, and I called a friend to clean up the devastation. I was having troubles at the time with a local cat killer.

God rest Tab’s dear soul.

WALLPAPER IN MY COMPUTER ROOM

 

 

 

Print on Acid-Free Paper. Circa 2007

This wallpaper was made some years after uni days, from photographs of me

doing Performance Work for a show in my uni days.

I was singing and performing to ‘Send In The Clowns’ of which the concept was the challenging of age vs. brains.

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 ……

LIZARDS

 

Ink drawing on acid-free paper. July 2006

The idea for this was to draw what isn’t real as a real image and to use the positive spacing as a

negative interpretation. So for example, the naked lady daydreaming of monsters attacking her is

being attacked by lizards, with a man drawn facing her, thought there is a face

drawn on the back of his jacket, looking the other way. Other images drawn in this imaginatively convoluted drawing are

nerd head, king’s head, crossed, houses, a letter, a clown, a rose, a shower head with sprays and drips, buildings , snake,

steps, roads that lead to nowhere, cogs and loopy tubing, other odd bits, and lizards attacking as if on a city!

I think Freud may have something to think about with this one!

HIGH PRIESTESS

 

ink on acid free paper. July, 2006

Three types of chests are being exposed here. The High Priestess is exposing her chest, there is

also a chest fulls of skulls in it, and the lid is wide open, and also the chest of drawers, which both drawers are open

of which the top drawer is full to the brim of coins. She holds one of them in her right hand

which she guards close to her body.

The Sun rises in the East. There is a Mobilum above her head

which signifies infinity and the endless circles of cycles. There is a mirror on the wall behind the chest of drawers

which reflects the back of her head and crown. The night sky in the East…or is it the West?…

shows an apple tree with 9 apples. Her right foot  is shackled, with a key right beside it to unlock it any time. Her left foot looks clubbed,

or perhaps, protecting the shackled foot. The wall and the flooring are woven matting, and is full of square, white spacing into

nothingness…or white light from the sun?  An arrow with three hearts surrounding it points directly at her head. She wears a star

on a necklace on her chest. The Moon is high in the black sky.

 The concept of this drawing is full of Esoteric symbolism.
