Frustration Attraction..

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Heidi Taillefer began drawing at the age of 3, and was brought up in a rich family in creative talent. Always attracted to the bizarre and unusual, she was fascinated by strange animal specimens and haunting turn of the century side show oddities. Frustration Attraction is a painting which depicts Salome holding the head of John the Baptist in her hands. Despite her longing for him, he remained unattainable due to a conflict of ideological principles. The only way she could satisfy her desire was to have his head brought to her on a platter, where she could finally kiss her would-be lover’s lips. The painting is about unrequited and courtly love, where distance increases desire.
