Hadassah Emmerich Dutch, b. 1974
Hadassah declares decoration as a statement. Exotic bodies, especially feminine ones are often associated with the desire for something ‘fertile’; the bodies, in this case, are not limited to just human bodies, but also land and vegetations. Hadassah comments on this ‘tropical’ imagination and expectation through her ongoing series featuring clusters of tesselated female bodies, abstracted through repetition. This concept of abstraction also appears in her method of art-making which is vinyl monoprints, where there is always a new outcome produced from the same template. The title of the painting itself is derived from the Cancan dance that features a similar ‘patterning’ effect with its costume and movements.
