- Title:
- Prom Series
- Object name(s):
- sculpture
- Brief description:
- 'Thalheim's work is defined by the extraordinary combination of her imagery and the dexterous manipulation of her plastic materials. Pieces of historic feminine costume often appear, such as bonnets, corsets, basques, chatelaines, purses and reticules, made out of cable, hair rollers, cable ties and insect mesh. Love in Memoriam and Prom Series evoke many of the influences on the artist's work: the female form, woven textiles, Vanitas objects and church sculpture'. See 'A Woman's Work' by Jane Sellars, pub. The Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, 2015, p.72.
