Kathy Temin, Hairstyle for |
Kathy Temin's collaboration with Jacinta Schreuder and Kerrie Poliness, Hairstyles for Round Faces, adds new actors to the duck drama that Temin has been staging over the past few years. Laid over a pencil-line grid (a la Frank Stella), Temin's cord drawings of duck faces are parodies of high modernism, ready to be unravelled by domestic sentimentality. The accompanying video of Temin dismantling one of her wall drawings emphasises her investment in the dramatic vector of decorama; she lets the art work dissolve into its environment. Working in wardrobe, Schreuder and Poliness give Temin's ironic critique of modernism a touch of glamour, with wigs and hair clips that contract elements of their own work into the scene being unfolded by Temin. |
