'THE GLASS DOOR'

'The Glass Door (Forever Emmanuelle)'

54 x 70" Blanket.
Machine woven in the USA.
Jacquard blend of cotton & recycled cotton.

I made this artwork for the New York Erotic Art Fair in October 2023.

It was inspired by a scene from ‘Laure’, a 1976 Italian/French soft erotic movie released in the West as ‘Forever Emmanuelle’.

It's a vague, strange film but I thought this scene was beautifully weird and hot.
A late night meeting behind glass, which takes place between two characters at a scientific retreat in the Phillipines. It features French/Thai actress Emmanuelle Arsan, who also authored the original 'Emmanuelle' book, which spawned a dozen erotic films under that name (although it turned out later her husband wrote the book, or maybe they wrote it together?) The 70s were a confusing time in the erotic arts. But I’m glad they produced imagery like this.

This would look great as a wall hanging (if you want any advice on mounting, please ask) but the weaving is very sturdy, so it's also perfect for real-life use - on a bed, on a couch, wrapped around your shoulders as you walk through a forest at night.
