PINK SALAMANDER
SILKPRINT ON COTTON
114CM X 140CM
2026
Is an intimate showcase of a woman sunbathing, in pink. It is ment to depict a moment of calm and stilness but also certain steriotypes and tabus related to womenhood and nudity.
Part of the series “relatives and fauna”.
This is a limited one print, due to the hand cut tecniqued employed for the stenciles.
I found that the little crab-spiders could change colour
just as successfully as any chameleon. Take a spider from a
wine-redrose, where he had been sitting like a bead of coral.
and place him in the depths of a cool white rose. If he stayed
there- and most of them did- you would see his colour
gradually ebb away, as though the change had given him
anaemia, until, some two days later, he would be crouching
amongthe white petals like a pearl.
I discovered that in the dry leaves underthe fuchsia hedge
lived another type of spider, a fierce little huntsman with
the cunning and ferocity of a tiger........Never did I see one of these little spiders
miss its kill, once it had manoeuvred into the right position.
All these discoveries filled me with a tremendous delight,
so that they had to be shared,
