The painting is... modeled on body-parts of myself and my girlfriend. I'm not going to say who's is what. The pose is influenced by a Helmut Lang polaroid i came across, and as per some of my Ladyhawke work, my favourite film; 'Beetlejuice'. The theme is inspired by a chapter on porn and pubic hair in Caitlin Moran's book 'How To Be A Woman' , and by Tom Robbins' take on Salome's 'Dance Of The Seven Veils' per his novel Skinny Legs And All.
The whole thing was originally an ode to Marmite, which i miss.
All of this is a lot more information and dissection than i usually share about a painting.

'Smiling Sideways'
