Cake Girl’s treats are more than sweet; shapes, textures and colour are used symbolically to create a world that is both delicious and disgusting, pretty and painful. Sweetness is taken to the extreme, revealing its bite and ability to repulse.

Jilted X is an experimental mall goth band and multidisciplinary performance art duo featuring Esther Splett and Tiffany Paige. We use a haunted harp, crackling synth vibrations, punishing drums beats, magical midi wands, textural samples and our own grotesque physicality as arsenal in performing a collection of lovesick songs about murder, misandry and revenge, being dumb as resistance, self-loathing as resistance and resistance as resistance. We live in fear as we incite it. We are unapologetic about our constant apologies. We seek revenge.

 

'Villaine' is an embodiment and reaction to the binary roles pushed upon women as a means of oppression: that of victim or villain. This is conveyed through physical interaction with carefully chosen items, which function to simultaneously empower and silence feminine identities. Through performing my experience with these problematic dichotomies, I am attempting to reveal truths behind societal stigmas surrounding abuse and female sexuality. The correlating objects are a collection of traces. They work as fossilized clues to a personal/political narrative. Repeated shapes and biological excavations reference the connections between our (meta)physical interiors and exteriors. Materials are scavenged from my own waste and deified as ghosts of experience past. In totality, the installation is a self-portrait, seeking to capture and materialize the ephemeral.  

(Intra)studio (Intro)speculations

Dolly Deluxxxe is a multidisciplinary doll worshipping project by twin dolls Bethy Lamb and Tiffany Paige. soundcloud.com/dollydeluxxxe

Shavonne Somvong and Tiffany Paige conceived Aunty Panty in the dreadful prairie winter of 2009, on the premise of realizing our childhood dreams of becoming the ultimate girl band monstrosity. We’ve been touring our perverse nobro-wave sideshow act ever since, leaving a trail of skid marks and fejaculate along the way.

Lipstickface is a cutesie-gore nympho pop princess alter-ego. With a penchant for cake smearing, champagne chugging, beat-making and floor humping, the sights and sounds of Lipstickface have been inducing sticky messes and uncomfortable boners since 2008.
