A favourite from Lilli Watersâ âANTHROPOCENE: The Age of Humansâ virtual exhibition live now. LINK IN PROFILE #Repost @lilliwaters ă»ă»ă» For the âAnthropocene: The Age of Humansâ series, I used lace for the first time in my work. I often source secondhand fabrics, but have been hesitant to use lace specifically, perhaps it was too old fashioned and laden with inherent meaning, but days before embarking on the five day road trip, I succumbed to my love for it. For me, lace represents romanticism, the feminine, a single thread of delicate beauty combined with the strength of many intertwining threads, and in many ways, symbolises the way in which I aim to represent the female figure, an honest beauty combined with strength. Lace has often been symbolic of modesty and obedience, of rites of passage, of fragility and chastity, but also debauchery. I am drawn to the idea of playing with and challenging stereotypical notions of the feminine. . âThe Veiled Woman IIâ 150 x 150cm Pigment print Edition of 8 + 1AP .
