dc.description.abstract |
During the Christmas season, homes are festooned with all sorts of decorations. But if we look around when they come down, we’ll notice the more modest ways we adorn our living spaces — with pictures, flowers and fabrics. We also decorate our bodies with makeup, jewellery, clothes and more. We rarely pause to consider the importance and ubiquity of this commonplace practice. In fact, our obsession with embellishment can be seen across all civilisations, societies, and periods. We are the species that puts flowers in its hair and paints itself. |
