When I lived in New York, I was intrigued by window displays. Certainly, Linda Fargo (window artist at Bergdorff's NY) is the master. She transports the audience 'through the glass' into fantastic realms. I have always wanted to explore this 'artistic medium.' So when David and Seth at DrewLewis Boutique offered me the opportunity to do a window art installation in their store for Atlanta's Midtown Arts Festival... I jumped.
Confession: When I was a little kid, we had this big picture window. I used create seasonal scenes out of construction paper and tape them to the window. At age 6.. I guess you could say these were my first public art shows....(ha!)
This window is really an extension of my current exploration, this sculptural deminsion made from 'junk.' I scavenger through construction sites and junk stores..reclaiming wood, watches, clocks, and vintage appliances. Art from our discarded junk--a collision of vintage and modern. It is my take on a 'steampunk' salon... and my first window!
[Steampunk: is a subculture who's aesthetic shows up in our culture from Alexander McQueen's last collection to Terry Gilliam's latest film.]
