THE SYLPHIDES
2017

I tried to remove the subjective element of my collage practice by making myself an object to desire; I would not do any editing, and impulsively build a large collage. I used avenues for desire as material, namely fashion magazines old and new and the female form. I read Barthes’ Camera Lucida and his discussion of punctum as a natural and accidental focus point in photography made me question whether that was possible in a collage practice, where ordinarily I would be the one establishing the points of interest intentionally. I wanted the focus points to be unintentional. Of course, I landed into a type of kitsch. 

 

 I submitted this piece of work in Fabrica Art Gallery's magazine during David Shrigley's Life Model II as the conversation centres on the female form in art.
