MA Fine Art Final Exhibition: Metanoia FABRICATION Fabric clothes, disguises, affirms, condemns, and protects. Fabric provides a materiality that begs to be touched, stroked, and caressed by skin. Fabric is the banner beneath the activist’s slogans and the hood that hides the executioner. Fabrication solidifies the varying concepts of justice against, for and to members of the LGBTQ+ community across the globe. Just as textiles are woven together in order to support, protect, and sometimes disguise its wearers, these sculptures are moulded into shapes that speak to the queer legislation of six specific countries. LAVENDER GIRLS Lavender Girls is a creative interpretation of lesbian representation in cinema. Focusing on sapphic presenting films made in the 21st century, artist Monica Mills shares her personal journey and process of abstraction through oil paintings. These conceptual expositions blur the lines of convention, acknowledging the need for greater representation - that specific moment of self-acceptance, where individual truth is more important than other people’s feelings and expectations.
