Fruit Corsets In History
Liza Ferneyhough About this artist
ARTIST'S STATEMENT: “
A history of ladies' fruity underpinnings for the corset connoisseur. The painting was inspired by an Elizabethan strawberry corset a friend sewed for me.
While I was working on it, I liked imagining who would be wearing these undergarments. Elizabeth Bennett reading impassioned letters from Mr. Darcy in her blueberry Regency stays… Laura Ingalls walking on the prairie in her apple corset… Mary Poppins in that sassy s-curve banana… ladies on the Titanic sinking in that skinny boob-to-hip constriction… my own Nan in a postwar pear girdle.
