FESTIVAL LIPS
FESTIVAL LIPS
This is another of the festival themed series created during my Virgin Hotel Edinburgh residency. Flyers were collected from around Edinburgh during the month of August and used within the the artwork itself. This mixed media artwork encompasses deconstructing multiple flyers from the Fringe shows themselves and collaged over one pair of up-cycled jeans which have been further filled with recycled clothing creating the base. (This has derived from the Vogue Lips series which sees the same concept using just one issue of Vogue magazine.)
In a layering technique these cut out pieces are collaged over the denim creating a three dimensional Pop Art style pair of lips. The backdrop is contrasting in monochrome.
This piece is framed in an up-cycled vintage style frame and painted in white chalk paint and is 63.5cm high by 83.5cm across.
