The Queen of Clowns
15.75” x 17.5” framed
hand stitched uncut paper currency, 2x4 sheet of 5 pound Bank of England banknotes, freshwater pearls, sterling silver wire
2024
The Queen of Clowns transforms an uncut sheet of Bank of England five-pound notes into a lively troupe of playful clowns, reimagining the Queen as an everyday performer among them. Hand-stitched details in vibrant colors, along with a freshwater pearl necklace, adding a whimsical elegance to the composition. By playfully dressing the Queen in the spirit of festivity, Webber challenges notions of hierarchy and formality, making her one of the people—joyful, humorous, and unbound by tradition.
