‘Dust’ visits the iconography of ancient Egypt and the evolving aesthetic, mood and music
of pop deity David Bowie. Inspirations are derived directly from the icon –
an image of a young Bowie dressed as a Sphinx in 1969 by photographer Brian Ward,
the fabled story of how the colour of one eye was changed when he was hit in the eye by a hand
with a heavy ring, his alleged fascination with Egyptology, aspects of the film ‘Labyrinth’,
and lyrics from the song ‘Rebel, Rebel’.
The occult symbolism of eye motifs, hieroglyphics, pyramids and crystal balls transcend and
unexpectedly combine with the candid nature of pop.
Two short films featuring Bambi Northwood-Blyth and directed by
Fiona McGee encapsulate the mood and spirit of the collection.
