Study for a Feather Boa (From the Frayed Petals of an Artificial Rose)

2015

Study for a Feather Boa (From the Frayed Petals of an Artificial Rose) extends upon Milton’s interest in the performativity of materials. Investigating the decorative refuse of commercial culture, Milton enacts histrionic acts of destruction upon hyper-feminine props that recall characters, narratives and affective relationships pulled from the operatic register of a culture drenched in spectacle.
