Pretty Face.

Pather’s show oscillates between love and camouflage. Pieces work as a possible imagining of 'confidence' armour battling the somewhat abstract, but always consistent and even sometimes blatant shittiness of patriarchy.

Also, because women need to be all things to all people, all the time, the works are pretty and inspired by hoopoe crowns tempting lovers or art buyers. The prettiness acts as a camouflage shield to facilitate optimal acclimatization in a magpie led landscape of excess and overkill.
