The Little Black Dress
The Little Black Dress inks reduce form and gesture to an immediate and primal visual icon by a reductivist method of working that has been typical of my studio for some time. These images are among the most extreme of my impulse to allow function to follow form. The dress has remained in structure and palette, so far, quite restricted. Because the work is as emblematic as it is simplistic I consider them to be most intriguing and recognize the crossover of these concerns to other work ; the Diva and boola.
