Beautiful Pleasure by Purgatory Pie Press

Beautiful Pleasure by Purgatory Pie Press

Susan Happersett has been collaborating with Purgatory Pie Press for over twenty years. Most of their publications have been the result of Happersett’s mathematical interest such as “The Happersett Accordion”. However, she has also developed a practice of collage work, using vintage images to explore contemporary situations.

With “Beautiful Pleasure” she continues exploring women’s roles and perceptions of society. The result is a kind of poetry meant to stimulate response and dialog about sexual identity and women's roles. She uses phrases from magazine articles with witty collaged images regarding women's looks - "The Beauty Secret”, “Perfume Enchantment”, “Sirens”, “Vivid and Individual” etc.
