The Cats

The Brain

Before Le Cerveau Affamé (Before The Hungry Brain), 2013, Dundee

The four part installation Before Le Cerveau Affamé , provides space for the artist to explore a variety of  possibilities of herself entering the abyss of past, present & future using bubbles from the gum to "secure a passage to the other side."   Pale pink and pale yellow throughout  unify the installation.  Taro cards, brains of bubble gum, and bubbles create portraits of people in altermnate possible situations.  Bubbles emerge from mouths and vaginas.

The human brains made of bubble gum share space with sculptured cats, beautifully glazed, sitting  in a variety of poses that only cats can assume.  Brought together in one room, irreverent and peculiar ideas merge in a world that's described as part dance hall, part sculpture studio.  She combines kitsch, the peculiar, retro and performance to provoke and enrage viewers.
