about this artwork
anyone who is a fan, or even just occasionally tuned in will recognise this work as similar to the one appearing on channel 4’s googlebox. siting proudly between bill hartston and joseh kollar is the first in the series of ‘the shroud’. ‘the shroud 2′ is the second work in this series and focuses on the female body whilst obscuring the face and is typical of ivatts’ work in that she is very interested in anatomy and the human form. whereas this work is perfect for adherents of gogglebox, the work is superb and would be a welcome addition to any collection, regardless of their television viewing habits!
