Fairytale Perspective on Love:

This concept is derived from how fairytales in particular, have skewed my vision of romance. The work acts as part of a self-reprogramming experiment. I have chosen several fable characters to identify with. Each character represents a percentage of my personality, (good and naughty) and acts as a pathway for self-discovery. Perhaps, I will find what I’m looking for – without the necessity for that ‘knight in shining armour to unexpectedly show up and rescue me.’

To dress as another is to see oneself in a new light.

It is to embrace the character we would like to be.

It is my escape.

Fairytale Perspective on Love uses familiar imagery to explore the unknown. The Fairytale characters symbolize childhood fantasy, while the corporate logos encapsulate a world of fantasy within a colder, business driven world. Together they challenge how the unseen parts of oneself can be viewed and question, “Whom do we really know inside and out?

BrightSide uses her passion for fancy dress to reflect her feelings and current personal issues through the use of screen printing onto mirrors. BrightSide’s images are loosely based around connections to both pre-existing animation characters and those from her vivid imagination. BrightSide’s characters act as reflections of herself and observations of her desires, drawn together by her want to shift, change or indulge.

“The world I grew up in was one of pure fantasy and romanticism -Escapism was a day-to-day habit. My challenge now is to become aware of my patterns and unravel them. My work is the means by which I am coming to an acceptance of reality.”
