Do you Costume Yourself?
Do you dress to hide, impress, compete with others? Most of us do. For more than 15 years, I’ve played with these questions and how we style ourselves, fashion’s influence and the judgements that permeate our collective psyche around how we look.
Now in the midst of a binge painting period while barely coming up to breathe, I’m really excited about this work.
What fueled my creative binge?
- A social media frenzy about film star Jennifer Lawrence‘s “inappropriate” dress and her fiery reaction – ““Overreacting about everything someone says or does, creating controversy over silly innocuous things such as what I choose to wear or not wear, is not moving us forward”
- The “Me Too” movement – stop hiding and covering up
- Traveling in Morocco, Spain and Portugal – the people, the colors the art
- The deadline for my upcoming exhibit – I showed up every day in my studio
