Various sizes. Steel wool, plaster, cloth, latex, and acrylic on canvas. 2016.
Undergarments are intimate. We tend to keep them hidden, and they touch our skin throughout the day. We fill them with our skin cells, wash, and discard. The steel wool, a functional material, generates rust and beauty in the decaying process. Here, they are painted white, metaphorically and literally reinvented. Thus, these disposable objects adorn a facade of beauty.
Steal your significant other's intimates and send them to me. Perfect for anniversaries, special occasions, and Tuesdays.
