Title

Remembering Macabea

Description

A series of collages, exploring the novel the Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector (1977). The novel follows a very short period in the unremarkable life of a girl who has moved from a small remote town, to Rio de Janeiro. The lowly materials of discarded torn papers are re-assembled (re-membered) in homage to the character in the novel. The collaged figures are immersed in their urban environment, depicted by photographs of brick exteriors.

Location

This work has been exhibited at Mrs F's Fine Food Emporium and Fultons Lakes Jewellery Works in Keswick. It is currently included in the collection at The Maker's Mill, Keswick, UK
