Salome
Oil on canvas 42" x 58" (2012)
Coin operated fortune tellers – How funny it is to have something that’s stuck in box to tell me which way to go.
I am fascinated by reliquary effigies, Anatomical Venus and coin operated fortune tellers, so similar in form - each a female figure in a glass box, yet their meaning runs from female passivity to female agency, from the sacred, scientific to the profane.
