“Fashion and Fantasy” is a journey through the iconography of the 1950s and 60s. This mixed media piece is at the intersection of high fashion, domestic aspiration, and the golden age of television.
Featuring hand-cut and torn vintage ephemera - from fashion magazine clippings and travel advertisements, to references of the classic game show “What’s My Line?” - this work is a layered exploration of the mid-century.
A complex layering technique involving acrylic paint, texture paste, and gesso creates a tactile surface that invites the viewer to look closer. Each corner reveals a new narrative: a glimpse of a classic car, the silhouette of Marilyn Monroe, and the sophisticated textures of vintage lace. This piece acts as a time capsule, blurring the lines between reality and the curated glamour of the past.
