Jacket Boys

My work Jacket Boys was made during a period while writing my dissertation for my MA degree and looking at the uncanniness of the photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925-1972).

In this work I have made 'smaller' tweed jackets worn by my ex-husband and previous lovers. The intense personal connection with the owners of the jackets is combined with a distorted human figure within an enigmatic domestic surrounding.

For more about my reflections on Meatyard see blog post:
