ELEPHANT INTERVIEWS LEO COSTELLOE, FLORENCE REEKIE AND KI YOONG ABOUT STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION 'THE BLUSH UPON HER CHEEK'
"When searching for the definition of the term 'beauty', its association with women immediately and plaguily stands out. Albeit not surprising, to acknowledge how beauty, pleasure and desire are linguistically and thus culturally entangled opens up a space for further inquiry into the historic construction of beauty standards and reflection on the hidden structures of representation toward gender, race and age. This is the framework where the group show The Blush Upon her Cheek at Studio West Gallery sits."
