Reclaimed bedframe; Stained glass fragments; Oxidised silver wires
The old bedframe contrasts with the delicate glass and its ability to transmit light: a fusion of the sacred and the profane.
The reference to cathedral windows contains many ambiguities: the wiring could be barbed wire, or a crown of thorns. The woman is at the centre of the bed, at the intersection of religion, politics and sex.
