Suit of Armor
This piece arose out of an observation that women tend to
cover up (with makeup and clothing), yet also reveal
themselves in provocative ways. The form is a found
object which has been covered in a decoupage of clippings
from beauty magazines. It was then coated with layers of
white shoe polish and a clear coat of polyurethane and
covered with liquid latex. Areas of the latex were
removed. After all, beauty is only skin deep.
