Corinne Lewis - A Man Who Was Never Hers
A MAN WHO WAS NEVER HERS - 9 July to 27 July 2008
Each work takes place in close and intimate interiors dominated by a solitary female figure. The dim artificial lighting is evocative of a city at night.
The works ooze sensuality and glamour but are often underscored by a darker narrative. Where there is a narrative it is always obscured, much like the female form adorned in clothing and jewellery.
This is a highly stylized vision of femininity suggesting both fragility and sexual power. It is an ephemeral vision set in an epoch where all popular cultural ideas about femininity were about to shatter into the feminist resurgence of the 1960's.
