About the artwork:
‘Mermaid’s revenge’ ; Hand coloured photograph

The shouted “whale” hangs in the air long after the car and its people-with-loud-voices-and-opinions-about-my-existence has driven off. They are long gone and too distant to hear my reply: “thank you, whales are some of my favourite creatures on the planet, I am especially fond of the beluga whale, but really, I adore them all. Thank you for the comparison.”
Honestly, I think I need to work on a snappier reply.
Smashing myth and cultures together, this tongue in cheek image sees modern punkesque mermaids take the sirens place upon the car wrecks to lure all those who feel the need to just shout hate out into the world from the safety of their moving vehicles.
Hand printed and hand coloured – splashing with the developer in order to evoke the splashes of water from these mermaid’s former watery lives, whilst the colour is all derived from foods, because I am a fat artist, and according to people-with-loud-voices-and-opinions-about-my-existence, it’s something I am obsessed with and feel the need to involve in all facets of my life.
