Self-Portrait in a Red Dress
Or perhaps
"A Dream After the Guillotine"
...and while we are talking of that device, I read that its inventor was a kindly man who wanted to make decapitation a less nasty - if not to say a more pleasantly diverting - experience. Speaking to the French Assembly, he said: "My machine will take off a head in a twinkling and the victim will feel nothing but a refreshing coolness." Sort of a thrilling cross between a roller coaster ride and a wellness treament.
However, some doctors have argued that, though the chop itself may have been exceedingly quick, it actually took about half a minute for "the victims" (and by that I suppose they mean their heads as they nestled in the basket) to lose consciousness. Which raises the question: what dreams could possibly go through the head of such a head?
This picture features a dress from V's Passerelles Boutique.

As always, analogue trickery: everything made, cut out and positioned by hand on the carpet in the spare room to create a 3D miniature world.
