The Art
A limited-edition print documenting Temporary, 2025.
By Harriet Richardson.
“This performance consists of tattooing the name of every ex-lover’s mother onto my torso. It will continue to grow, each new name added the morning after the night before, and no name will ever be repeated, dictating my future partners and reflecting my hard-won power.”
‘Direct, provocative, and rooted in endurance, the piece confronts power: cutting through romantic myth-making to expose the lineage, expectations, and inherited dynamics that shape intimacy long before two people meet. By shifting the focus from the men to the women who raised them, Temporary positions the body as a living record; a boundary, a filter, and a refusal to enter relationships without awareness or accountability.’ — The Independent.
As featured in Dazed, The Independent and as an article on Harriet’s Substack.
