It’s good
to have finished my latest series of work. I’ve been working on three hangings,
one each referencing dust, decay and disintegration, linked to my work on
gothic novels and the disintegration of the home. They show a progression of
decay, starting with a net curtain with a lace trim across it and silk paper
below, the idea being that the net curtain has trapped dust from the decaying
home and is gradually silting up and turning into paper. The next curtain has
less lace and more silk paper suggesting that the silting up process is turning
more of the curtain into paper. And the final curtain has just a scrap of lace and
is almost all silk paper. I’ve tried to photograph them in my studio, but they
are each 2 m long and I haven’t managed to get good images. I will be
exhibiting them at The Crypt Gallery in September though so I should be able to
get good photos then. It will also be good to see them hanging in an
atmospheric space and as a group.
