If I Survive focuses on Bond's misogynistic and often violent behaviour towards his 'Bond Girls', particularly featured in the early films, by juxtaposing these scenes with the scantily clad female bodies.

​

Included in the Bond Song exhibition (Brunswick Arts Space 2013), I was invited to create an artwork from a song that could be a song or title of a James Bond film. Taking this as a starting point, the work plays with the Bond conventions and formulas that have been around for half a century.

Made in collaboration with Melbourne burlesque troupe, The Dark Carnival Dolls.
