PURPLE LIPSTICK
Beyond Goth
Purple is the colour of a fresh bruise. Haley's latest videopoem, "Purple Lipstick" confronts the insidious nature of domestic violence through compelling juxtapositions. A disembodied female voice employs vivid language, absurdist against a backdrop of banality, images of *normal* family life. Numb in her isolation and still in her nurse's uniform, a wife and mother prepares dinner. The inherent terror of her homelife is invoked with excruciating tension. Its brutality can only be alluded to. Features slam poetry star Alexandra Oliver in title role.
