Age of Aquarius
Collage made from 1960s Vogue and Women’s Realm magazines, Ladybird books, Wills cigarette cards & mid century wallpaper
A colourful collage with a central image of a 1960s young thin white woman with big bouffant blonde curls and her face coloured in like an Andy Warhol screen print surrounded by stars with a cut out of a half peeled banana and a pink and white blob reading perfume of magnetism, above her old wallpaper with leaves covered in organic shapes that suggest bowels
