10th Anniversary Queen of Luxuria Costume
As I move into the 10th Anniversary of performing as the #queenofluxuria I made this costume that is super comfortable and easy to travel with. I handprinted the fabric at Spudnik Press inspired by #queenofluxuria designs using screenprinting techniques. I drew out the pattern and made a sample top first. If you read the blog post below I mentioned the new costume I made for Edinburgh - this is it. I find it interesting to observe that since I started working on this project two years ago it has been a greater challenge to find funding for it even though we are entering the centennial anniversaries of women’s suffrage around the world. This project places women’s lived experiences in poetic language in public space at a time when the architectures of sexual oppression are being fundamentally questioned. I live in hope it’s all you can do and I hope my home city might decide to fund this project. Projects like this are more than the art, it’s about the community that is built and the connections that are made. If we are to empower the next generation of cultural makers we have to give them a language and the tools to transform the local. I’ve been booked to perform in Berlin on June 8th and am developing a larger project in Switzerland. More news on that to follow shortly. Currently delving back into my studio and creating my mini-utopia.
