Notes from the artist: Regalia is part of an ongoing series exploring the idea of façade, and the human drive towards human self-promotion through artificial means.
The need to foster an image of strength and imperiousness stretches back through history, from the act of wearing feathers in hair to denote importance and fearsomeness to the related adoption of helmets. In exploring how couples present themselves to the outside world, Regalia extends my fascination with figures and the armour they adopt to protect themselves, both in a physical and metaphorical sense.
