Corselette

2003

"Corselette" is an example of Joyce Daniel's innovative techniques expanding the possibilities of fabric painting. The structure of this bust emulates an antique relief sculpture, and thematically, "Corselette" is an evocation of a personal past, depicting undergarments worn by the artist's mother. It is richly decorated with paint, laces, ribbons and other assorted objects, and the pattern of what could be madras frames the bottom half of the relief on the canvas. This could add another layer of reading to the artwork as a homage to Caribbean textile cultural heritage, as Daniel often uses textiles, which she considers embody the Barbadian identity, as a springboard to examine Barbadian socio-history and the contemporary Barbadian lived experience.
