montage of girl in room with shoes

When asked by a judge in 1878 what his picture represented, Whistler said "that depends upon who looks at it".
I enjoy the surreal, the enigmatic and the bizarre. I don't remember how the idea for this came about when I first sketched it in the early 1970s and shot the photographs of the girl and the shoes. The room and the hair came much later and the montage was completed in 2005. The model is reminiscent of Allen Jones' furniture. Reality rules on the left but weakens on the right; the treatment over there – whence comes Mummy – owes more to the comic strip.
