3 Nuns & Their Handbags (detail)
|
The Powell & Pressburger Film, Black Narcissus, and a trip to India resulted in "3 Nuns & Their Handbags". The Nun hangings are based on Buddhist Thankas, the faces of the nuns are captured in moments of ambiguous passion. Each Nun has a handbag printed with Priestley matinee idols and Rosary prayers hidden behind zippers and veils. A projection "Au Creux du Desir" has been created around the same source material for a performance event at Hackney Empire Theatre, London.
