Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This painting is part of an ongoing series of skirt paintings, exploring the drapery of garments. As part of my research, I visited a theatre costume and props warehouse. The packed rows of clothes, worn by different bodies over the decades, muffled the sound giving off dusty undertones. I explored the corridors of cotton, crinoline hoops and netting, dresses of all eras, fibres full of stories, but empty of person. I imagined the actors playing their parts, rehearsing to empty seats, entertaining full houses, hoops being fitted, bodies squeezed in, layers of make-up, and spot lit stages highlighting the drama. The characteristics of the garments emerge during the process of painting, where the handling of paint is used to create movement, tempo, depth, and sometimes a suggestion or trace of the body.
