Miss America beauty contests, processions of tanks covered in flowers, Swiss chalets and Father Christmas's boot: Amy O'Neill draws from the vernacular culture, kitsch folklore, and the forested, western folklore of America and Switzerland, coming up with motifs which she fills with a supernatural, fantastic force. “The rustic object is thus steeped in a strangely mythical style, as if Medusa and Perseus where fighting in equal terms.”
