Mrsterpiece

Skin of the Beast is moving into second stage of production now. I am planning to move into the manufacture of handbags en mass experimenting with an array of materials. My favoured approach is to paint a Frida Kahlo style portrait that is then cut up and stitched into a bag. Will post pics soon. Looks very weird, hald an eye here, part of a lip over there, lovely rendition that critiques superbly the path of the 'masterwork' by the 'master' artist.

I have been videoing the women in my life and interviewing them about the women who inspire them the most trying to elucidate descriptors from them. I have also been asking about mothers and ideas of the good mother...very interesting that what we value in mothers is not often married with how we judge one another and ourselves...more of this later.
