“Twist with Madam Qllicqot” Charity Exhibition

When I was invited to the exhibition, the motif of which was Madam Cliquot who established Veuve-Clicquot, I made a translucent acrylic frame to fit around a 620x800mm portrait of her. I dribbled acrylbond on a matted acrylic plate to make the rough surface transparent through dissolution processing, and arranged them so as to look like champagne drops. A magnanimous Madame’s portrait peeps out through those drops. The eyes are idly in rapture. The work was auctioned, and the bid money was donated to an environmental organization.
