Baby Doll - Feinin after Andy Warhol

Baby Doll, print, glass and ink 2009. Post Script: This is not an on going thing, I'm not undressing here, this was the first trial of which I was then clothed, as always, the first represents its truest meaning.


This work had me thinking, I took the steps to ensure that either Andy Warhol or his subject, Marilyn Monroe was not cheapened. As the printout of the original film still of the American actress was complete, I whispered the word, "Marilyn" as if I know her in memory. Andy Warhol reminds us that with anything we cherish, the beauty remains indefinitely seen. The portrait of her is protected by glass, it is untouched.

In my earlier feinin I wrote. "In the history of American icons from the twentieth century , Marilyn Monroe has be immortalized by artists in the effort to give her a sense of reincarnation. I found this self study to be just that, immortal, captured from a negative. Nevertheless to say, I was overcome by a dainty girl who by all means was prudish, concerned over her height, bitchy, clingy and needy.

Her popularity was a reflection of someone who hated all the attention, but craved it (independently). She was no fool, bright, careless in her ways and suspicious of people. Her life was turbulent, her passing, a kept secret, forever and ever and ever. Marilyn Monroe’s heart was open to her perpetual insecurities, her spirit lingers".

Once again, in my opinion, a very beautiful work, I wonder If I should have this open to the public?

Quesions over Ghada Amer 's work

I like how Kimberly Lam phrases Amer's work, very carefully...Her strongest work she says..."Red Diagonales", and so forth... Depending on your taste, discovering these female pornographic thread drawings entangled within the swipes of colour, you'll not conclude that it is shit, but kitsch. The question now is why? What does this layer mean? Is this work about religion? Is this about hidden sexuality, voyeurism or is this about suppression from the demoralizing of women from centuries of male domination... By putting meaning to it, here is were the shit begins.

I may have mistaken the reproduction of Ghada Amer's work as just threads that fell diagonally and crossed with other lines. But in the process, I did feel uneasy, the matting of the threads, the dye, the consistency of the glue, and above all the time it took the line the threads factored in my displeasure. Men think visually, women think methodically, I am not supposed over think with these studies, then it becomes a task.

We like surprises, "Red Diagonales" is expressed in illusion, repetition and falsehood. Clever, now how does Ghada Amer top that? Is it the Tracey Emin syndrome? Does this mean I will modify the feinin piece, perhaps not, the work just when out with the trash.

My sincere apologies for being so presumptuous, sometimes women just like to have their secret business tangled by other women, she may be a lesbian, those boots mean something in "KSKC", no harm in that.



After Ghada Amer's New Albers, then after Aboriginal secret women's business, ending with Jean-Michel Basquiat. I was aroused by this work which was made from thread. In the process to mock Ghada Amer, her pornographic motifs disappeared because they were repeated patterns, and the work itself was lifeless. Then, the feinin painting transformed with a power unknown.

I've seen the porn version, boy she can't give head...Why her pot smoking 50 years ago is BBC news this is beyond me, perhaps the head of the BBC is a coke smoker...news has become entertainment.
