I’ve always had a bit of a mannequin thing going on. I often cut pictures of them out of magazines, and I have done a couple of art pieces based on them.
What To Wear (2011) Cupcakes For Lorraine (2010)
Party Shoes (2010)
(By the way, you can check out more of my art stuff by following me on facebook.)
Not sure what my whole mannequin obsession is about but I expect you could read all kind of Freudian things into why I like such feminine images when personally I wear a dress and make up about once every seven or eight years, or why I like the usually headless and always stationary figures, and only the female ones.
Whatever.
I like them so they are on my radar, which is why I noticed them at every turn when we were on our recent buying trip for the store at Americasmart in Atlanta. There were hundreds of them. Everywhere.
Sitting and standing.
Under dressed and way over dressed.
Incognito and traveling in pairs.
Used for selling clothes, and used for selling other stuff.
Plain and sparkly.
Cute and rather scary.
Beautifully made from lampshades and lit from inside,
And creatively clothed in a dress made from a map – my absolute, hands down, no question about it, personal favorite. That one is like a piece of art to me.
