A Valentine's MessageSize: 23 cm x 23 cm
Medium: Mixed media- Embroidery, Doilies, Candy Wrappers Completion: February 2021 A Valentine's Message takes inspiration from commercial valentines through the ages, and is an unironic celebration of Valentine's Day. This piece seeks to combat the idea that Valentine's is simply a commercial holiday, and instead revels in the camped-up portrayal of affection and all things heart-shaped and pink. It also uses trash, in the form of candy wrappers, to mimic the appearance of the delicate lace present in the doilies and add to the excessive frills. |
