Marianna Simnett
Blue Roses, an alias for varicose veins, continues Simnett’s exploration of the body but this time casts herself as a paranoid patient. Moving between an operating theatre, a cockroach laboratory and a blue netherworld representing the interior of a knee, it blends documentary techniques with hallucinatory shifts in setting and character that disrupt our ability to distinguish what is real from what is imagined.
