It Might Even Be Kind Of A Relief To Be Finished Marilyn Monroe (2023)

Özet

"A meditation of the heartbreaking performance of identity.
Inspired by material shot during a visit to Mike Wade studio on the Jurassic coast as he finishes a waxwork of Marilyn Monroe for a Hollywood Museum.
This material provided the canvas for an intimate embroidery exploring her life, her work, her self.
One American Woman, a speculation on disbelief.
Additional layers all emotion and abstraction include a window overlooking the remnant tombs of a graveyard garden adding a haunting and introspective atmosphere.
A correspondence with KE Jung Korean Psychoananlyst leading to thoughts about the connections between childhood sexual trauma and Hollywood and wax.
It becomes Kind of a gift to her
And a homage to my grandmother’s textile talents."
