This will take you to a lovely video by artist Felicity Powell who has curated an exhibition all about charms and amulets at the Welcome collection in London.
All works by artist Felicity Powell
Felicity currently has curated an exhibition focusing on amulets and charms at the Wellcome Collection in London. I found this video, which is included in the exhibition, made by her, to be delightful.
The process that is featured within the video i.e., playing
around with wax and creating forms, is very much part of the method she
uses to create her own artworks.
Andrew Graham Dixon said of her “ she is a reinventor
of the medallic tradition in the modern day.
He describes “Hot Air” (above) thus………….”is a diatribe on the theme of global warming. On one
side, a hydra-headed monster speaks with forked tongue; on the other, a pair of
human buttocks surface from water like the back of the whale, farting clouds of
foolishness into the sky.
Her medal itself reinvents the form itself, a kind
satirical spool, on which is wound a ribbon of fatuities spouted by
self-interested politicians”
