About The Artwork

Maudeline Spacks, named after the "Maud" of Tennyson's poem of the same name, is a vanishing artist and femme fetale. Her erstwhile persona is the performance artist, Dot Howard (www.dothoward.com). Maudeline's tour de force was a duel show at Sydney Opera House and the Royal Opera House London, where she performed in both venues at the same time. A video link up broadcast the concurrent shows in real-time to each venue. During the course of her Magnus Opus, Maud became lost in transit somewhere between the London and Sydney, never to be seen again. Incidentally, Charlie Chaplin was once spotted in 800 simultaneous sightings across America. There is speculation that there was one further siting of Maud, a few hours after the performance, outside a house in Pimlico talking to a man in a dark fedora hat. The man fits the description of Andrew Plummer, of World Sanguine Report, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhiPUmB769s). Plummer was infatuated by Maud, like most people who met her, and reportedly heartbroken when his advances were refused during rehearsals. I met Plummer when I was commissioned to paint the stage set and publicity images for Maud's performance, for which he was one of the support acts. In hindsight, the paintings seem to have foreseen Maud being kidnapped by Plummer and falling into an interstice, a sort of lacuna, where she becomes "Schroedinger's cat," so to speak. At this point one should turn to Siouxsie and the Banshees for elucidation: "She tries not to shatter,kaleidoscope style personality changes behind her red smile every new problem brings a stranger inside helpessly forcing one more new disguise Christine-the strawberry girl Christine-banana split lady Christine-the strawberry girl Christine sees her faces unfurl"
