Picture
Yes, the performative images are interesting. The play of gender. Perhaps, we could play with stereotypically masculine ideas of perfection. 

In terms of the artist, this may be the traditional marble sculptor which is generally seen as male. Maybe there is some play in the idea of carving a marble cheesecake ( playing with typically feminine cooking )

I have attached an image of my 'studio' which is much less glamourous- a cramped room in a stuffy shared house in Cambridge. I thought it was kind of funny how you are operating from such a beautiful location while I'm in the old industrial ugly side of Cambridge in a dingy flatshare. 

Best,
Denise

This is fascinating Denise, as when I think of Cambridge I think of lofty towers of learning, beautiful architecture etc, not thinking for a minute it had a a 'dingy industrial side' - reality versus our edited image of perfection yet again

Denise, I have been playing with the idea of nature. perfecting and ruining... you'll see some photos and a video of clay soil being washed to remove the cracks - it's been very dry and warm here! The stereotypes and people's perceptions of gender roles I always find intriguing - perhaps that could be developed.
