This is the second work in the Mattress Series.
Working with the time consuming technique of beading, I used the mattress as a signifier of intimate space within relationships.
The technique of beading encircles and enhances the indelible marks left behind on an object which has come in close contact with the body. The sweat, blood, cum and fluids of sexual acts, emotional outpourings or bodily accidents all become individual markers in a narrative of intimacy.
The private life of the artist is presented in the gallery space.
