Who would you like to collaborate with (living or dead)?
Hmmmmm, Tatty Devine, Kyoto Hashimoto, Jeff Koons (that controversial fellow), Yayoi Kusama, Ricky Swallow, Fiona Hall (on something to do with soap), Geraldine Mills, All of the artists in the Hello Kitty X Exhibition, and of course my artist friends particularly Marius Jastkowiak and Jaime Thompson.
How many soap rings have you made (& how many broke while you were making them?)
I’ve made around 300? Not as many broke while making them as you’d think, maybe about 10. Unfortunately lots broke after I’d given them away, they had a nasty habit of shattering on the ground if dropped!
But I did enjoy that as it demonstrated the concept behind the rings, as a tongue in cheek tribute to disposable fad jewellery. First you wash, and then you wear (insert 'I’m just a girl' giggle)
Who do you like to exhibit with?
I generally like to work with some of the talented artists that I went to art school with and other like-minded fun loving folk. However, I have been working on different solo projects of late.
What's the best advice you've been given?
Make quality not quantity.
What's the worst advice you've been given?
Get a real job!
What's this 'Vag Badge' business about? ha ha
The Vag Badge is a work that I created for a group exhibition called ‘Overt Compensation Reloaded’ in 2006 at the Depot Gallery in Danks St Waterloo. My Vag Badges and Wash ‘n’ Wear soap rings then featured as part of artist Jane Naylor’s ‘Snack Art’ project through out 2006 and 2007 being sold as part of her ‘Snack Art’ vending machines.
