Athenais
Artist Penelope O’Gara
Vintage lace, tulle, lawn & jewellery; wire & resin
53cm H x 18cm W
Athenais is sometimes thought a shade haughty, but on dancing nights she sheds all inhibitions & flings herself into the gavotte with utter abandon. 'Tis fortunate we have come across her early in the proceedings, as her ears is unlikely to be so perky, or her hems so un-tattered by the end of the evening. On one famous occasion, she became so carried away that she flew to the top of Big Ben & performed a series of intricate arabesques along the hands of the clock overlooking the river. Why, anyone could have seen her! But the risk adds to the pleasure, don't you find?
