Kit Merritt presents us with autobiographies and a world of disenchanted femininity, sourcing materials and subject matter from the sorts of domestic sundries that encompass corporeal beauty and a common desire for perfection.
Her work singles out certain elements of media ideologies: hair; cosmetics products; hosiery, and uses them to expose media images of feminity as commonplace composites and painted facades.
Her more autobiographical pieces, drawn from a collection of everyday objects and actions, are farcical admissions of mundane humanism: the minor triumphs and defeats of daily life.
Kit Merritt lives and works in London.
