soft
was
made up of 15 paintings of cushions which were subtle to the point of
invisibility. The fact that they
were painstakingly and accurately rendered, however, suggested that they
were given a value not generally ascribed to such commonplace objects.
Each
painting was given a woman’s name such as Julia, Suzie, Amanda, Simone,
etc. The works were named after they were painted and therefore are not
intended as portraits. Instead
they were named as we would name a pet or a child, to mark ownership,
place and attach meaning and personality.
