POPSHO: 50 rounds of ¿Quién es más macho? in MINIATURE
POPSHO presents for your consideration, one hundred mini-macho woodcuts in an epic showdown. Who is more macho, Basquiat or Le Corbusier? Siddhārtha or Jesús? Dolly or Nina? Bootsy or Dinah?
I am working on a new series of Pop portraits carved on curved oak ply chair backs that have been salvaged from the Martha Cohen Theatre.

THE COMPLETELY FICTIONAL ADVENTURES OF JOSEPHINE BAKER
November 7–15, 2014
THEATRE JUNCTION GRAND
Born in the Year of the Horse, Josephine Baker left her homeland in the USA in the 1920s to live in France where she became an international superstar and a symbol of the Jazz Age. Hers is a story of struggle, humour, dignity and survival. In collaboration with Lisa Brawn, Kimberley Cooper uses the idea of Josephine Baker as inspiration to create a fictional fantasy in an otherworldly setting. Experience images, sounds and movement that celebrate the essence of Josephine Baker set to an original score performed by a three-piece band.
