chelle wallace, Performance Anxiety (ART 2022)

Performance Anxiety is part of an ongoing body of still life photography celebrating the beauty and vices in my mother’s seventies home and those of her generation. A play on blurring the lines between gallery worthy art and the informal art of domestic scenes. It recognises that despite the forbidden opportunities that plagued women’s lives they not only took refuge, but excelled, in the transcendent ingenuity of lovingly curated objects and outfits that became the focus of much untapped brilliance.
