Michon’s practice is emblematic of 90s Third Wave obsession with punk, girls with guitars, anti-consumerism and the fetishization of ambiguity. Utilising drawing, painting and craft techniques she makes interventions with post-feminist attitudes, creating very personal essays: Decoupages over pages of romantic fiction disrupt concepts of ideal love, and revel in a fascination with dark romanticism. Drawings and paintings of Beatniks, Ronettes, dandies and 50s heart throb Billy Fury, reveal a contemporary obsessional need to create uber worlds of lost longing.
She lives and works in London and studied at Central Saint Martins. She co-directs Transition Gallery. |
