Our assignment was to create something that would serve as a mood-setting page for an imaginary fashion catalogue. I used Corel Draw 5 (yes, I know. We have to use it in my university, no Illustrator allowed) and the work of some of my favorite artists and also one I didn’t know, whose beautiful picture I found right here on tumblr!
The picture of the 3 women (the one I serendipitously discovered on my timeline and served as the inspiration and very first step for the whole work) is by Pierre Molinier,
the drawing I stretched sideways and used as my background is by Louise Bourgeois (one of my favorite artists, whose work I’ve been lucky enough to see live twice),
and the lillies are by Man Ray.
I found the two portraits with their faces cut off on tumblr and haven’t been able to track them back to the artist yet.
And the poem is by Dorothy Parker. The title is Thought for a Sunshiny Morning and it can be found in her collection of poems entitled “Sunset Gun” and also in the wonderful (and not all that easily portable) “The Portable Dorothy Parker”

obrigada! eu gosto de arquitetura tb, precisei fazer um painel de referencias pro mesmo projeto que as camisas e coloquei fotos do guggenheim de bilbao (desconstrutivismo de novo!) e do chrysler building. Tb fiz um modelo arquitetonico desconstrutivista no colegial mas nao tirei fotos! Eu penso em tentar reconstruir ele se achar um papel adequado ou pelo menos fazer um esboco de como ele era, se der certo posto no blog tb.
A sua pesquisa é para pós? Onde vc faz?
Deconstructing a men’s shirt III
Third and last. I took a men’s shirt apart (sleeves, front panels, back) and created a feminine garment using those parts in a different way. This time I didn’t want it to be too fitted, so I draped it in places in order to have a little extra volume without needing any padding.
made this with acrylic paint and candle wax back in 2009, on a cheap hard canvas-y thing I got at a store on my street for one euro!
picture’s not great, I’ll try to take a better one later and replace it.
PS: joannawoodpaint, I thought you might like this one :)
Deconstructing a men’s shirt II
As in the first one a few posts back, I cut the different elements of a men’s shirt (sleeves, front panels, back) apart and rearranged them in order to make a feminine garment. I did this three times, a post with pictures of the third one will follow soon.
the picture isn’t perfect, but…
I painted this in 2008 and it forms a diptych with http://amandajorda.tumblr.com/post/2307152544/painted-in-2008-i-think

if you click on the picture, it leads to video footage of the event, fast forward to 18:00 to see the painting
