'Laughter'
digitally enhanced photography
2023
'Laughter', amongst other clowns, arose from a painted narrative- originally mentioned when the 1000 Foundlings adopted 'Laughter as their mother'.
She is an exploration of trauma, co-dependency, individuation and activism. A MeToo clown - a six breasted, singing, human milk fountain with Dolly Parton’s generosity of spirit.
One drop of her milk will send you into a blissful baby slumber. Those inclined to grab her bare breasts are prevented by a protective, nourishing force field, which performs rather like a more potent version of her milk.
She also occasionally appears as a 'Lady Doctor'... hormonally rebalancing crowds with her oestrogen infused milk.
