Covered With Cold Sweat

Drawing on themes from popular culture - films, comics, television characters and clichŽs - Schouten creates a world ripe with passion, mortal fear, seductive eroticism, and blind panic: perils which plague her female characters. Adored film heroes and fictitous types such as King Kong and Spiderman take part, and Schouten herself, by moving among them, becomes a comic figure, a type, a living clichŽ.
