Vision of Excess

Sarah Field (VIC)

Artist Statement

While the history of aesthetics has been primarily concerned with the establishment of the ideal beauty, it has also, and quite by accident, been an insight into the murky depths of disgust, making seduction and disgust two facets of the same endeavour. In fact, the birthplace of disgust is at the very centre of seduction itself, and excessive sweetness is an example of this. When we experience something "too sweet" the sensations of seductive delight can quickly seep and fester into overindulgence, becoming sickly, treacle and nauseating.
