Susie MacMurray is interested in ambiguity and in the kind of intrinsic duality present in many fairy tales. The sensuality of her work and its materials often elicits conflicting responses, while the sisyphean nature of her creative process is itself an integral part. Constructed from perishable latex balloons and domestic rubber gloves, the three flamboyant performance garments presented (Gladrags, Icon and A Mixture of Frailties) make reference to protection, entrapment and mortality. Their delicious opulence contains an underlying ambivalence concerning notions of beauty, desirability and power.
