Damp by Helen McGhie :: You need to be a member to contact artists →Join :: Portfolio The series (M)other (2014) explores a performative analogy between the body of the Mother (in this case, a life model), the figure of the 'Monstrous Female' and the interior of a worn English house. Here, photographs of sun-drenched wallpaper and spider webs alongside the visceral surface of the ageing female body become subjects of fascination. The physical security of home is called into question, where leaking ceilings and darkened corners suggest the embodiment of an un-named or unknowable fear. Imperfections in shadowy vein riddled skin present the maternal body as being at once haunted and as the site of nurture.
