"Again using a Middle Eastern/Moorish-inspired 'tiled' design and on the relationship theme,
Kiss Kiss
uses a very fine, delicate version of the type of abstract fiber (textile) art design which I first used in
Me
and
You.
The kisses hanging in the air (air kisses?) are formed into an extra-large kiss, so the whole piece became a celebration of love, sex and relationships.
"... but the 'tiles' are only just held together with fine gold thread - my comment both on the apparent tenuousness of relationships and the threads which link us together, whether as lovers or friends.
"The title was originally suggested by the sexed-up Turkish pop song, which Holly Valance (where is she now?) covered for her debut No 1 single.
"These 'floating felt' textile art pieces are framed by sandwiching between sheets of clear acrylic, fastened with small brass bolts and hung from nylon line.
They are ideally hung slightly away from the wall, giving a feeling of floating in three dimensions.
The wall behind need not be white, since the piece will 'interact' with the wall colour behind.
Spotlights bring a vibrancy to the pictures, by reflecting off metallic, or other shiny, elements in them."
