Jewels by Jessica installation @ Taf

Today is the opening of our Whitebox exhibition at Taf -The Art Foundation-


For whoever doesn't know the place it is a rare gem in the centre of historical Athens...


My installation deals with a sentimental and emotional journey of a girl-woman, from her past to her present and onwards into her future...

The performance directed by Eva Pyr featured a custom design fashioned from a vintage slip, embellished with some tattered elements -a metaphor of the past- and some sparkly pieces -that symbolize the present and future- a bolero that was made by several very old crochet pieces...

The room was inspired by Ms. Havisham from Great Expectations and the feeling of one being stuck in the past, in their memories, fears and traumas...but with a sudden push into reality and maybe happiness...Come check it out, together with 9 more installations that will be there till May 25th. The performance is only for tonight and one repeat performance soon to be decided.

Marilyn ...past and present

I was watching an interesting documentary about Marilyn's last unfinished movie *Something's got to give* segmented in 5 parts over on YouTube and remembered these sketches i made many years ago...back then i read and collected anything with Monroe..i was kind of obsessed i agree.

Here is the link to the documentary

in this film she shows such vunerability, childlike demeanour and beauty...she died a few weeks after.

and here are the sketches i uploaded on Facebook
