Desirability is a magnetic force in the retail arena, driving us to acquire. Yet the impulse to cover up what is inside us is often sincere. Since a child I have loved the idea of dressing up, of finding strength in selected attire. Most of these pieces are interpretations of coveted brands and products. I have aimed to introduce humour and intensify beauty using high gloss and brilliant colour. Some are convincing in their entirety. Others are fragmented to highlight imperfection and impermanence. The banana skin and apple core pieces emphasise the slippage and transience inherent in human consumption. The eyeballs scattered throughout the display represent initial sense receptors that take in form and function—an evaluation system for the heart and its surrounds.
