‘Marianne’ depicts Swedish actress Anita Ekberg, her emerald eyes and ice-pink lips picked out from the vintage photograph. An explosive concoction of collaged elements, Marianne depicts life aquatic, building up from a delicately woven collar of spiky sea anemones, through marine biology and up to coastal commotion, where garlanded girls frolic in the waves. But watch out for the ocean’s darker side: woven amongst soft seaweeds and colourful clownfish, a host of perils await, from vicious sharks to carnivorous creatures, lurking in the deep. Marianne is a metaphor of the contrast we experience in our lives, just like the life the creatures experience on our beautiful savage planet.
