Cythera and Twins, oil on linen, 100.5cm h x 136 w

I am interested in the impact of art on fashion and fashion on art, especially the Rococco era with its preoccupation of collecting, identifying and cataloguing of new plants and flowers. It resulted in fashion moving away from heavy fabrics of the Baroque to the light and fluid fabrics, and characteristics of asymmetry, naturalism and surface decoration. By painting, collaging, textile elements and other found objects, I have rendered realistic images of 18th Century costumes ambiguous and semi-abstract forms. They are depicted upon Rococco patterned backgrounds such as Mechlin lace exploring such technology as photo-transfer on materials such as velvet, canvas, linen, perspex and board.
