I’ve titled the above piece ‘Coterie-Ladies for the afterlife’ as a tongue in cheek reference to Ancient Egyptian Shabti figures that were buried with the dead to act as servants in the afterlife. The ‘Ladies’ are enclosed in a coffin-like structure, an old Electrolux vacuum cleaner box….guess what they’d be expected to do in the ‘afterlife’?!
