Sanctuary (close–up).

Millie Johnson

BA in Fine Art

My work explores sculpture and painting incorporating the abject grossness of blood and flesh, of scabs and infection, of mould on food, mould on walls, eating and breathing spores, and the beauty of beading. The contrast of something grotesque and something traditionally feminine, how the connection between these can create something some find beautiful and some find disturbing. An exploration into textiles within sculpture and painting, texture, layering and colour.
