OVERVIEW
EGGSHELLS is an online exhibition by Maud Whatley featuring experimental drawings and writing, which are part of an ongoing research project.
Whatley explores the armor and defenses we might construct for ourselves in fictional situations beyond our current experiences.
She investigates historical processes and practices, as well as the representation and attitudes toward armored clothing in art history and contemporary culture.
These elements may inform the design of suits to take us to places or beyond the horizons of our own imagination.
ARTWORKS
MAUD WHATLEY
Maud Whatley makes drawings which layer images and motifs taken from art-historical paintings, online archives, her camera roll and google image results. Her work intends to explore some of the politics of looking at things, the unexpected eroticism of placing different ideas in the context of one another and the ways in which the repetitive insistent touches of drawing can be sexy and weird.
