Part of the *Deviant: Women, Sex & the Monstrous* exhibition and publication in collaboration with writer Tracy Heather Johnson, *Carney Girl / Perverse Angel* is a striking meditation on the tension between vulnerability and power, transformation and decay. Inspired by the haunting self-portraits of Francesca Woodman, this piece explores the fluid boundaries of identity, the performative nature of femininity, and the fragile, erotic interplay between body and space.
The central figure ascends and fractures, her form both celestial and corporeal, shifting between ecstasy and disintegration. Her body blooms with ripe, bursting pomegranates—a symbol of temptation, fertility, and the inescapable cycle of life and death. The bleeding fruit, rendered in rich, sensuous tones, mirrors the rawness of flesh, suggesting a body that is both offering and undoing itself.
With its dreamlike luminosity and violent beauty, *Carney Girl / Perverse Angel* evokes the tension between innocence and perversion, divinity and ruin. A figure caught in perpetual transformation, she embodies the monstrous feminine as something uncontainable—neither angel nor demon, but something entirely her own.
Each print is carefully reproduced to capture the intricate details and luminous textures of the original, making it a powerful and evocative addition to any collection.
