So i've been busy, making a installation, moving it about in the centre of town, taking pictures, thinking of a new installation, planning trips to amsterdam for research, getting measured for my graduation gown etc etc but i found time to apply for a show in london on the 25th of this month.....hopefully i'll get in, scary.

Project title
“O more please”

Project Description
O more please is a revised version of a living installation I made late 2006 entitled “O please”.
The piece uses imagery gained from my research time with a practising dominatrix, glossy immaculate dress and exterior, with highly fetishlike themes.
The artist is a young woman; she is bent over presenting her behind. She is dressed in a short shiny black skirt and red high heels; the skirt only just shadows her exposed sex. Her upper half is covered from the waist up in thick heavy red material suggesting is there any more under the covering? Is she real? The artist remains fixed in this position for the entirety of the show.
This piece perpetuates a lad’s mag image of women, reducing the woman to body parts and costume, but encourages the audience to engage with the realities of this imagery, presenting them with a laboured representation on the part of the artist.

Artist Bio
Polly Aplin, in her final year of a Fine Art degree, tackles with female representation in the media and through various art projects, works to define feminism for her own.
Currently working on a series of works dedicated to conversation and information gathering on subjects surrounding morality of female activities, such as, women who strip, talking to a member of the public about the pro’s and con’s of stripping while I strip for them.
Artists statement available via website blog

Technical specification
For this piece I require the corner of a space, and a small piece of stage for me to bend over.
Preferably the space would be dark, with a single spotlight trained on my rear, although this can be sacrificed in case of space limitations.
I will provide my own:
Documenter and video camera
Tapes for recording on to (mini DV tape)
Velvet material for installation

its a re-hashed version of a previous piece, but with a few different outcomes should some things happen. and possibly with an ending planned, where i actually make an action. but i need to brainstorm it first.

been reading lots of Psychopathia Sexualis, anyone whos remotly interested in sex or fetish or just interesting historys and ways of recoreding case studies should give this a little read.

in other news, my writer, Katie griffiths, has completed the prologue for our manga project over the summer, the prologue is posted on my Livejournal whic is my more illustration based journal.

and also just a way of keeping up with my friends lives.....and being a member of weird communities...but i won't go into that.
