Working the Red Carpet

'Working the Red Carpet' is a playful collage, which illustrates the Kings and Queens of England from Alfred the Great to the current Queen, all interacting with each other on the red carpet. The creation of this piece has been a long process of researching the history of each monarch, referencing art and costumes from each era, photographing individual people and animals and carefully adding piece-by-piece textiles, illustrations, jewellery, print, feathers, shoes, buttons, armour, swords and crowns to the work. The aim of 'Working the Red Carpet' was to ultimately gather all the monarchs together in one contemporary scene and see how they and the audience would react and whether their egos would get along.
