In my latest project, Dark Desires, I am working with original 1960s color film stills, called “mini lobby cards”, designed to entice audiences into theatres. I’m especially drawn to the lush settings, stylish fashion and humorous, over the top drama and campiness of these images. And underneath that, the aggressive stances of the men toward the women. By fading the male figures into silhouettes and combining them with art and ads lifted from contemporary art and fashion magazines, I am bridging the past to the present, bringing the women’s complex reactions to the foreground – ranging from fear, amusement, anger and lust.
