Demure, 2022
Crocheted and melted nylon

From the Unbecoming series, featuring prints and film
With its elegant, long neck and textural openwork, Demure is almost reminiscent of Nefertiti; a symbol of feminine strength.
Named ‘Aloof’ before the melting process, this vase could seem distant; yet it could be because it exudes an air of coyness. The doily for this piece features a lot of open work, resulting in a sensual, lace-like effect. After melting, the vase tips to the side, almost as if it was shying away from something; someone.
