Self-portrait with black wool and fabric

Photograph taken with Panasonic Lumix camera in my kitchen on a ten second delay, in which I had to wrap my body with the knitted wool and length of black fabric before the flash occurred. I am reminded of Salvador Dali's The Burning Giraffe (1937) in which he depicted a woman with opened drawers in her body. In my photograph the drawers are closed, the handles forming steps behind the woman. Domestic Bliss?

Self-portrait with black fabric and knitted black wool. Julie Clarke (c) 2017

A couple of days ago the yarn ran out and I finished knitting up those two balls of found black wool. This morning I took a self portrait with a length of black fabric and the knitted black wool wrapped around my body. I was sitting on a Bentwood chair with cane mesh seat (see reference mentioned in a previous post from Heart of Darkness). I took the photograph on a 10 second delay with my Panasonic Lumix camera. The photograph I've posted is cropped from a larger image. Unsure at this stage where I will go from here. Anything is possible.

Self-portrait with examination garb and Heritage roses

To celebrate my birthday on 22 April this year I took about ten photographs of myself wearing the navy examination garment I wore for the echocardiogram I had before Easter and the Heritage roses given to me on my birthday by Leonie Osowski. I'm printing out the one considered the most exellent to give to a few close friends, but thought I'd post this one here.
