This work has various titles. It's working title was "Pussy" and in the exhibition I shall give it another name.
Materials:
-60cm x 80cm canvas, painted with rose madder acrylic paint, in a streaky way to give it texture.
-a wooden coathanger from asda/wallmart
-a cat hide made from fake fur, with the lining of an old coat sewn onto the reverse. It can easily be removed for handling.
-loads of nails
This is the result of a month of thinking about things that interest me: taxidermy, animal parts, tactile objects, sexuality, horror, the act of making and the act of painting.
The canvas was a last minute addition, to make the pelt stand away from the white of the gallery space.
This work is featuring in an exhibition at the Glasgow School of Art called "More Blood".
