Aura- Yinka Shonibare- how to blow up to heads at once

I had the great pleasure of seeing this exhibition last year at the MCA, not having had the time in recent years to visit galeries or keep up to date with current artists it was an experience of aura that hit me immediately and profoundly as i walked into the gallery and saw this life sized work of the two ladies in those beautifully crafted dresses, an image of delicate, refined beauty and yet at the same time an overwhelming sense of vivacious passion, dominance and strengh.... i dont think i can adequatly describe the sensation that i felt seeing this work that would do it any justice ...truely awe inspiring.
