Bodice Ripper, de Rosemary Cassidy Buswell, Francia
'Bodice Ripper' Bodice....
Denim
fabric, paper fragments from popular romantic novels, ribbons, zip and
stitching.
Artist's Statement:
This piece is from a series of Bodices and Corsets, and was
inspired by the term 'bodice-ripper', which the Concise Oxford English
Dictionary describes as: noun, humorous, a sexually explicit historical
novel or film: a modern Gothic novel or historical
romance, usually in paperback
format, featuring at least one passionate
love scene, characteristically one in which
the heroine vainly resists submitting
to the villain or hero.
Such stories are often
historical, and usually regarded with humour, as the good looking experienced
hero introduces the innocent heroine to the delights and passions of love,
ripping off her bodice in his urgent
desire! My bodice is a humorous slant
on the hugely popular books that are devoured by thousands of women of all
ages, seeking the thrill of romance. It
is made from ubiquitous denim fabric, with a modern zip, but laced in the
traditional way at the back. The design
of 'corset bones' on the bodice are 'saucy' fragments from several different
bodice-ripper novels, and at a distance, you can see the shape of breasts
gently painted on the fragments. The
torn and frayed edges play on the word ripped.....

"Bird in a gilded cage" , Rosemary Buswell artworking about bodices and corsets !
'BIRD IN A
GILDED CAGE'
Mixed media
corset, life size, made from 'gilded' chicken wire, plastic, ribbon, feathers,
beads and paint.
In my series of
bodices and corsets, I want to explore this controversial article of clothing, which has been around for
centuries, sometimes hiding
and often enhancing the breasts, depending on the fashion and the mores of the
day. Once seen as an instrument
of torture, imprisoning the female form, a corset can also offer freedom from
holding your tummy in, and cinch the waist like no gym routine could ever
do! Originally underwear, today the
corset is now very much outerwear, with fashion designers reintroducing it
every couple of years, creating contradictory emotions in women. Love it or hate it, this contentious garment
gives wonderful scope for creativity and ambiguity in both the world of
fashion, and also art.
Each corset and bodice in the series expresses a different idea.
My 'Bird in a Gilded Cage' sculpture is a play on the words of the
popular song from 1900, 'She's only a bird in a gilded cage' composed by Arthur
J. Lamb (lyrics) and Harry von Tilzer (music), which
reportedly sold more than two million copies in sheet music! I wanted to illustrate the song, as the lady
in question would most certainly have worn a corset. In the gilded corset her trapped heart has
wings, but she cannot fly away, only look at her image in the mirror like an
exotic bird in a cage. Also, in England,
'bird' is a slang word for a young woman or girlfriend, giving further wordplay,
as this corset can be worn and is a size 12.
Here are the words to the chorus of the song, the last line of which is
the title of the corset.
A
beautiful sight to see,
You
may think she's happy and free from care,
She's
not, though she seems to be,
'Tis
sad when you think of her wasted life,
For
youth cannot mate with age,
And
her beauty was sold,
For
an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gilded cage.
Rosemary Cassidy Buswell, January 2012.
