Mannequin maquette. A matter of perspective
Mannequin maquette.
When we look at something like art, what is it that we “believe” we are seeing? I say believe, because everything is a matter of perspective. A matter of opinion. A matter of light,
time, and so on.
All of these elements are in a constant state of flux. As are we.
So, it’s no wonder that we can never truly see eye to eye, because we’re not all looking with the same mind.
Take for example Dorothea Stockmars series of colourfully painted bras on canvas in which she uses them to convey an almost renaissance state.

Some, like myself, instantly picked up on the sense of motherly Rebirth. Hope. Whilst others saw the bra as a proposed sense of something else.
The latter sparked me to produce this contemporary, yet classicised little figure entitled Mannequin Maquette that is meant to lend itself as a platform for a broader insight on perspective. Your perspective.
Whereas Dorothea uses the bra as a symbol of hope and rebirth, Mannequin Maquette poses the opposite end of this spectrum by positioning the bra strap over the stomach like a gaping wound as metaphor for the loss of a child.
We gather narrative through familiar perspectives. And only through insight do we broaden those perspectives. Now what do you see?

The making off Wet paint
The birth of a museum exhibit.
This piece marks the birth of the artist. Their seminal work/s. And the birth of a museum exhibit after their passing in a death mask format.
Morbid, maybe but the draft for such a piece came from fragments of Tracey Emin’s own youtube reflections of such issues.
This piece was unbelievably instant throughout its conception regarding its presence, meaning, construction and presentation. Very specific.

I recall a Gogglebox viewer being appalled by the sexual leanings of another, yet their own nature would be considered as deviant by most. The
pious venomously champion purity, yet behind closed doors they are something else. We call it “The kettle calling the pan burnt arse” It means, you shouldn’t criticise others when you have
similar tendencies yourself. We all do it though!
