Fun with FIMO

Have been busy making feet necklaces from FIMO for the UNSW Open Day markets in September. The moulding process is monotonous but has allowed me to sit on the couch and indulge my passion for ABC tv.

Cavity in the Kitchen

Primal Cavity - a thumb tongue connection

Sculpture project exploring the relationship between the tongue and thumb. The 'Primal Cavity' explores the infantile behaviour of thumb sucking and its connotations of security and auto-erotic compulsions. The vinyl, polyester wadding and cotton structure creates a womb-like environment for the wearer, enclosing them in a warm and safe flesh cocoon. To lull the wearer into a hypnotic state and soothe the distractions of external stimuli, a loop recording of a human heartbeat is played from within the cavity. Not to be worn whilst driving or operating heavy machinery.  

Spencer Tunick - The Base

The Spencer Tunik Opera House photo was finally published this week. As one friend pointed out, the nudes en masse resemble a bunch of king prawns laid out at the fish markets. Reclining naked across perfect strangers' legs, shoulders, elbows and other protruding appendages on a fresh Sydney morning was indeed a pungent experience, but also an unforgettable one. Mexican waves of shivers as the morning breeze buffeted 5 000 naked bodies, awkward embraces and averted eyes, and the creepy tall guy who cartwheeled, cavorted and thrusted with a sizeable hard-on before being booed off set. Ahh, the memories!         

Greetings

Hi all and welcome to the wonderful world of Betty Borehead and friends! I’m going to be posting pics of new drawings and various other projects I’m involved in, as well as some old favourites from my back catalogue. I’ll probably sneak in a few reviews and recommendations as well. Stay tuned!
