Bad Governance - by Nikkita Morgan (Ireland)
Hand embroidery, cotton threads and metal thread work on linen, 40 cm x 28 cm. 2019.
Nikkita : "Bad Governance is an experimental embroidered piece that has four politicians portraits stitched behind bars. These are : Boris Johnson (UK), Donald Trump (USA), Nigel Farage (UK) & Arlene Foster (North of Ireland). I used gold/metal thread work to represent ideas surrounding their greed for money and power whilst debating, should these people still be in the public eye or in fact be behind bars ?
This piece was inspired by my research into communal links and shared interests of these politicians; which in my opinion do not benefit the general public. Johnson, Farage and Foster are all pro-Brexit (Britain Exits the European Union) supporters who don’t seem to care about the effects that leaving the EU without a deal or with Johnson's new ‘worse’ deal would have on the UK and Ireland.
These four politicians are linked through their political parties and common interests. Johnson has been trying to secure a trade deal with Trump, in which the UK's National Health Service has been rumoured to be on the table. Farage and Trump both used Cambridge Analytica for their political campaigns; Farage for his Brexit party and Trump for his American Presidential campaign.
Foster’s party, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) propped up the UK Conservatives minority government from 2017-2019 under (then) Prime Minster Theresa May. But since Boris Johnson took over from May as the UK’s Prime Minster he has lost the support of the DUP due to his alternative Brexit Deal that would potentially create a new border in the Irish sea between ‘Great Britain’ and the North of Ireland."
