BONNETS
Mad in England the Jubilee – 2011
Ceramic on Ford Bonnet
Commemorating the Queen’s Jubilee
Made using vintage, digital and hand screen printed ceramic transfers, this piece pays homage in part to Jamie Reid’s 1977 iconic Jubilee image. Carrie combines a red, white and blue palette with authentic Metropolitan police badges. Images of the 2012 popular insurrections are superimposed onto this motif, subtly subverting its patriotism and reflecting a rather more radical view of the British publics’ relationship with the state and Royal Family.
Riot Here Riot Now – 2015
Printed Ceramic on MINI Cooper Bonnet
Carrie used vintage, digital and hand screen-printed ceramic transfers that she applied on the metal hood of the UK car classic. The color palette is predominantly red, blue and white. The blue tiles build the background of the artwork. Many of them contain the transferred flower patterns. The red tiles create a fire flaring from the bottom and around the Mini logo. The white tiles depict the “V for Vendetta” mask with a crown resting on it, two eyes with wings and the banner that reads the artworks title. The Vendetta mask, an international symbol for the occupy movement, enhances Carrie’s proclamation to “Riot Here, Riot Now”.
Riot Here Riot Now – 2010
Ceramic on Ford Bonnet
