Wall Works: Jaime Bull

A large scale, black and white, ink drawing of the Colosseum becomes a dramatic stage for sparkly starfish to dance among the classic architecture. From the dark archways emerge soft sculptures of spandex, sequins, fringe and stretchy mesh that evoke a sea creature cabaret. The ocean has risen, swallowed up the Colosseum only to be reinhabited by Star Dancers. The work is painted with ink that drips, pools and that feels watery and wavy. The architecture of the Colosseum gives structure to the drawing as the columns create a rhythm for the performance to occur.
