The Performance

In the series The Performance, a seemingly innocuous image of pristine teenage girls quickly turns sour. As their peer pulls up her t-shirt to reveal a gaping wound, it is with cold fascination rather than concern or dismay that they lean in closer, and one cringingly probes the open flesh with her finger. This subject matter, which appears more at home in a Baroque painting, is rendered in a highly 21st Century manner, evenly lit and pristine. It suggests, this time in true Baroque fashion, that there are alternative truths beneath the surface.
