With the camera lingering over her midriff, she is introduced as a slinky,
seductive presence, but it soon becomes clear that she, with her slyly deployed barbed comments, is the savant of the group (eagle - eyed viewers will note her revealing choice of reading
material); the disrupter ushering in the storm.
Formed by pliable
materials including rope, thread, string, and fabric, the works in Soft Power derive their
presence and power from, on the one hand, the
seductive textures, structures, and surfaces of textiles, and on the other, the evocative social and cultural connotations these
materials provoke.
