Detail of Beauty Tricks

A vividly-coloured stained glass panel made for the National Museum of Scotland, exploring notions of beauty and the beauty industry. This detail shows a stereotypical blonde madonna with a pink, blue and yellow halo of Botox needles and scalpels. Above her head is a set of gold medieval scales asking “Worth it, or not worth it?”, referring to the famous TV advert.
