The half closed eyes stare back! Separated from the image, the creator of a false goddess views her adoring and parasitical voyeurs. ‘I belong to the public and to the world…….’ She speaks of the paradoxical confusion of her life, desperate to find her valid identity.

Repudiating her legacy, that of a one dimensional celluloid image, Marilyn allows us to explore the woman.
