Girl With A Tear

The series Tear with its focus on materiality offers a new perspective on representation of the female form and a heightened awareness of the relationship of surface, touch, and material to image. With reference to images of female grace, the body is re-presented as a site of sense-perception and feeling, as a sensory being-in-the-world.A small but specific range of materials is used to create lush surfaces and colour so that the image sits outside of its original context. It is out-of-time.
