Inspiration / Karen Carpenter

On April 9th, I premiered my installation at Dominion Art Gallery, titled "Inspiration". This installation was created via visual cues taken from the wardrobe styling, album art, performance photos, music videos, and promotional imagery put forth by these artists. I'll be releasing all 8 images, one at a time, and today is the third.

 

This interactive installation can be seen at Dominion Art Gallery, which includes a 3D interactive build corresponding with the images, in addition to some fun gifts at the entrance (in the treasure chest). Check it out here:

This third image is my somewhat modern (mostly due to the dress length) interpretation of Karen Carpenter, inspired by the album cover for the Carpenters' album titled "Close To You".

 

For this image, I styled my av, created the pose, created an EEP for environemental lighting and lights for the set, photographed, and did the editing after.

 

Here's what I'm wearing:

Head: Lelutka Simone

Body: Maitreya Lara

Hair: TRUTH - Meadow - No Hat (tinted in editing)

Bangs: Magika - Bangs - Midnight (tinted in editing)

Dress/sleeves: ISON - sienna dress - white
