Down the rabbit hole you go!- by Karen Chappelow 2x2m

This piece symbolises how easily one can be trapped in hegemonic assumptions about success and beauty. A spiral of self-obsession and self-doubt. The Yellow brick road is a well-worn trope for the spiritual and emotional journey that we take to fulfil our dreams. Along the way we can lose sight of what it is that is important.

Our heroine is swinging freely, carried along by swallows, a symbol of freedom itself. The goldfish references the Babel Fish in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The players being sucked into the vortex and down the spiral have lost their way and are side-tracked by materialistic trinkets.

The Young girl is offering a pound coin, her pound of flesh. She must give a piece of herself, soul, and body in order to succeed. Arlecchino/Harlequin, a member of Commedia dell’arte, plays the fool. Àrlecchino represents the foolish decisions we make in life. The dancers evoke pride and narcissism, which never leads to happiness, just a shallow existence.

In our contemporary world this manifests in being a slave to social media. His thumbs up gesture a reflection on what he bases his worth on…the likes on his social media whilst he takes a selfie.
