Dragonfly for Rebecca, spirit of 2011

I was given a hand me down this Christmas from Rebecca, through Graham. A beautiful Victorian bone silk bodice, full of beading and sequins for the purpose of mask making. It was falling apart, and Rebecca wanted it to have a second life. She gave me the whole thing for my work, and all she wanted back was a small piece, reformed into a token, amulet, something to wear, anything....In literal spirit of metamorphosis I made her a dragonfly brooch. Most of the material from pieces of the bodice,stuffed with cotton wool and glass beads for weight, some brass detailing I got from this wonderful little shop i Marais and some antique Czechoslovakian filigree buttons for eyes. It's sort of a Japanese fighter plane, merged with a stuffed animal. It is approx 14 cm long and 12 cm wing span. I gave it to her on the last day of 2011. She was happy.Graham was happy. What a good project to end the year with.I am happy.

Personae Magazine (N)

Journalist Linn Carin Dirdal sat down with me earlier this year for a chat, and don't you think it ended up in Personae Magazine back home in Norway. I am waaay chuffed! To have my little name on the cover alongside Kawakubo, Yamamoto and Cindy Sherman is awesome! The photos in the magazine are by Sayaka Maruyama of yours truly in some lacy feathery stuff.
