Collage of Selected reviews.
Made during my last year at Chelsea College of Art,
exhibited in 'Young and Fantastic', Institute of Contemporary
Art, London, Summer, 1969. I actually had a model who
let me life cast her. I draped the cast figure in silk
and poured clear embedding resin over it. The image
retained the look of wet cloth and I named her 'The
Bride in the Bath'. People referred to this piece as
'macabre' but for me it evolved out of my earlier studies
of my own body in the bath, where, of course, I couldn't
see my own head. The bride is a surrealist muse of realms
that lie beneath the surface, the bathtub being a little
more Dada in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp's 'Urinal'
and other 'objects trouve'. ts trouve'.
