"Treasure'
Digitally printed silk, 1300 mm X 2000 mm, edition of 5

“Treasure” is inspired by the escape maps of World War II. Servicemen were given cloth maps to help them escape behind enemy lines – the maps could be concealed in a small place, did not rustle suspiciously and could even survive immersion in water. Nerys has perverted this idea to produce a fetish or ritualistic image, mischievously indicating the female gaze. The cropped image of a man’s chest unfolds to almost 2 metres in width. Only once pinned up and seen from afar does this mass of male body hair reveal the form of the chest. The man may have giant proportions but he is easily folded and packed away.
