From the artist:
A funny story this painting, my Mum decided to sell our childhood home and I had to clean out the garage which had all of my art work in it from the age of about 5 years old. When I went into the bag that had my drawings from primary school, I found something wrapped mysteriously in black shiny plastic. I looked inside, and to my absolute surprise I pulled out a porno mag titled ‘Yes Mistress’. Whom could this magazine belong to? How long had it been there? Why was it there? Considering I hadn't been inside this bag for at least 15 years, I found it so interesting and funny that something so un-child like could end up in a place of such innocence. I decided I had no choice but to pull out one of the editorials and paint it. Here you will find two sexy mistresses with their submissive’s on a leash. Bright colours and thick shiny black paint dominate the canvas, reflective of BDSM fabrics.
At this time of my life, I was questioning my role as a woman in society, perhaps I felt some anger at whom I felt I had to be, yet I thrived in the power and control that this identity lorded over men. Dom/sub relationships fascinated me, particularly findom, and here I am exploring this.
