I’ll be in Dubai this week mounting a show of my work which will include a series of figures adorned with jewels, with music boxes built into them,  mounted in shallow boxes lined with faceted mirror.  Also on view will be  large-scale clear boxes with images of figures printed onto them, and a film montage to be projected onto one of the gallery walls.  The show’s themes have to do with the idea that all that glitters is not gold, and  other issues pertaining to femininity,  adornment, fetishism, and the nature of the object. For an article about the art fair http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/visual-arts/bastakiya-art-fair-2010-field-for-a-new-crop-1.590954  to view images of the show and see the short film which accompanies it, please visit my facebook page –I’ll be happy to friend you if need be.
