“Her Breast’s All Perfume” Molly Bloom’s Soliloquy from Ulysses
What can I say about the inspiration for this piece? Yes! I love it and have used Molly Bloom’s soliloquy from Ulysses many times in my work. Her words appear as torn scraps of exclamations amidst many of my highly decorative and textured flower paintings. However, this is the first time that I have combined these words as collage with one of my nudes.
As a lover of colours and Klimt, I gave this painting my “all” in terms of gesture and adornment. The sensuality of Molly’s prose equaled my passion for painting it, and I really went to town on the overt nature of this piece of writing from Joyce. While sketching some of the preliminary work, I experimented with using different colours and styles for the setting. Molly’s thoughts flit like butterflies on the breeze and I thought it would be fun to produce a series of sketches on the different ‘moods’ of Molly. “...Shall I wear a red Yes...” expresses a whimsical side to this Earth Goddess (as seen in the small sketch). Whereas the excerpt “...and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume...” reveal the power of womanhood at its best.
