Creamy

Curator

Jonathan Thomson

“Creamy” depicts a woman of indeterminate age staring fixedly at the viewer. Her gaze is somewhat accusatory, and she reaches with her right hand towards the viewer, as would be expected if she was confronting a voyeur, caught taking a unwanted photo on their phone. But this may be a harsh reading. It is hard to tell as she is wearing a mask and her head is covered with a scarf. A more tender reading might be inferred from the fact that both halves, head and body, are painted onto elongated heart shaped panels.
