In the short poems of 60 Lovers To Make And Do, Sophie Herxheimer imagines a litany of characters who make companions for themselves from everyday objects.
Each woman animates her creation with reflected desires and frustrations. Their absurd, often funny stories distill into familiar loves, which take flight, fail or settle somewhere between a compromise and a perky arrangement.
Herxheimer's glorious collages evoke both the seasons of a year and a lifetime. Extraordinary objects of private devotion are prised from chandeliers and trees, skirting boards and biscuits.
