The Black Project
The Black Project
Getting yourself a girlfriend is easy, according to Richard. All you need is papier mache, string, soft material, a balloon, some old fashioned bellows, and a good pair of scissors. The difficult bit is keeping her secret.
Lovingly crafted in linocut and embroidery this charmingly disturbing tale of obsession in 90's suburbia explores the shady no-mans-land between childhood and adulthood.
