Title: Blood Dress
Description: The Blood Dress was worn by key early Splinters member Pauline Cady for her mesmerising soliloquy in the production Winter of the Rutting Moon (The Performance Space, Sydney 1991, variously titled Whirled on a Fatal Floor and Roading Home to Aunty – Splinters productions were regularly reworked and retitled for different locations). The speech draws from the image of the Siren in Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but was inverted to become a powerful feminist examination of the desiring body. As Pauline spoke, the dress flowed out across the floor like a pool of blood.
