It Might Even Be Kind Of A Relief To Be Finished Marilyn Monroe

"A meditation of the heartbreaking performance of identity. Inspired by material shot during a visit to Mike Wade studio on the Jurassic coast as he finishes a waxwork of Marilyn Monroe for a Hollywood Museum. This material provided the canvas for an intimate embroidery exploring her life, her work, her self. One American Woman, a speculation on disbelief. Additional layers all emotion and abstraction include a window overlooking the remnant tombs of a graveyard garden adding a haunting and introspective atmosphere. A correspondence with KE Jung Korean Psychoananlyst leading to thoughts about the connections between childhood sexual trauma and Hollywood and wax. It becomes Kind of a gift to her And a homage to my grandmother’s textile talents."
