I feel so let down, Doris (Jean Wisdom)
2014. Installation with projected film.
A mise en scene that imagines what if Doris Lessing had brought her daughter to London from Southern Rhodesia instead of her son. Making connections between play, hope, imagination, and role models with communism and the Left Book Group, the publication of The Road to Wigan Pier and the Oscar-winning film, National Velvet. Ambivalence and the longing for a future.
