}}Penny Slinger, sometimes Penelope Slinger,[3] is a British-born American author and artist based in California. As an artist, she has worked in different mediums,[1] including photography and film and sculpture, and her work has been described as being in the genres of surrealism and feminist surrealism. Her work explores the nature of the self, the feminine and the erotic.[4][5][6]

Slinger attended Farnham (now West Surrey) College of Art from 1964-1966.[7] She studied at the Chelsea College of Arts in London where she made a series of short films that were later shown at Anthology Film Archives in 2019.[1] [8] She completed her degree with a First Class Honors Diploma in Art and Design in 1969.[9]

While writing her thesis on the collage books of Max Ernst, she met Sir Roland Penrose who became her patron for many years and introduced her to Max Ernst.[10] Roland Penrose, one of the founders of the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), London, brought Penny's art to the attention of Mario Amaya, who included her sculpture in the exhibition Young and Fantastic at the ICA in summer of 1969.[11]

Slinger worked in photographic collage, producing her first book 50% The Visible Woman. Published in 1969, the book continued her practice, started in her student days, of using herself as a muse.  The book comprises photo collage overlayed with the artist's poetry. When published in 1971, Rolling Stone said, '"This book will become as important on your bookshelf as Sgt. Pepper is on your record rack."[12]

In 1970 Slinger and filmmaker Peter Whitehead filmed and photographed at Lilford Hall, a derelict mansion in Northamptonshire, England.  Although their film project remained unrealized, the photos formed the basis of Slinger's surreal journey of self-discovery told in the style of a photo romance. The result, An Exorcism, was published in 1977 with a grant from Roland Penrose and Lee Miller's Elephant Trust.[13][14]

Slinger focused on surrealism in the 1960s and the 1970s to "plumb the depths of the feminine psyche and subconscious," according to a review in ArtDaily magazine.[15] She wrote and illustrated numerous publications.[15] She staged photographs, sometimes using her own body, to create "hauntingly surreal collages" for a series which she titled An Exorcism.[15] She photographed herself naked to explore ideas relating to dreams, desire, sex, female liberation, surrealism and memory, according to a review in Aesthetica magazine.[9] Some of her art focused on the Arawak peoples of South America and the Caribbean.[16]

Reviewer Kate Galloway in The Guardian described her work as a "grotesque and militant contribution" with a "loud message about silence."[17] As an author, with Nik Douglas, her book Sexual Secrets sold 100,000 copies,[18] and sold over a million copies in 19 translations. In 1977 she published "The Secret Dakini Oracle", a deck of cards for divination. With Douglas and Bhaskar Bhattacharya, she wrote The Path of the Mystic Lover - Baul Songs of Passion and Ecstasy in 1993, and provided 84 drawings for it. Slinger's work was part of the Angels of Anarchy exhibit at the Manchester Art Gallery in 2009.[17]

Personal life

Slinger was married to microbiologist Christopher Hills, the co-discoverer of the protein-rich plankton spirulina and co-founder of the University of the Trees in Boulder Creek, California. Hills died in 1997 at age 70.[19]
