About this event
Void is delighted to welcome writer and psychoanalyst Akshi Singh for an online talk about psychoanalyst Marion Milner in conjuction with our current exhibition Sampler, Aleana Egan.
In her first book, A Life of One’s Own, Marion Milner made a list with the heading ‘Things I Hate’. In that list, along with ‘Lace curtains’ and ‘Being ignored’, Milner includes ‘Fussy dresses’ and ‘Being conspicuous, having arguments in public places or being unsuitably dressed.’
Inspired by Aleana Egan’s Dress for Marion, this talk considers the work of Marion Milner (1900-1998)—writer, psychoanalyst, and artist, through her many descriptions of clothes.
Akshi Singh is a writer and trainee psychoanalyst. She is working on a book on Marion Milner, titled Weather in the Soul: Experiments with Solitude.
