Selena
Artist Penelope O’Gara
Vintage silk , lace, wool & jewellery
64cm H x 23cm W
Selena was, even as a mere toddler, a gifted performer upon the flying trapeze - all were enchanted by the pint-sized girl swooping above their heads, leaving myriad spangled webs in her wake. But of recent years, Selena has preferred to get a little closer to her admirers, revelling in their amazement as she wraps her several limbs into unnatural positions, holding their gaze as she spins lazily from a single silken thread. And very, very occasionally she will invite one lucky ticket holder to her caravan for a sip of after-show hibiscus tea…. Strangely, not one of these devotees has ever been seen to leave.
