Selfie with Cindy Sherman

 

I was inspired to recreate this piece because it was simply different. Cindy Sherman took a photo of a beautiful woman and transformed into something even more beautiful. She created an image that would make you do a double take and say “ I wonder how she thought of something like that. When I created my image, I placed all the ants and spiders one by one through an editing app. Figuring out where I wanted to place all of them was such a fun process and it made me appreciate Sherman’s work even more. After placing the bugs on the face I didn’t think my original picture was any less beautiful, I instead felt like I could be in a gallery.

“Creating a place to resist, both practically and symbolically, each flag points to an issue the artist is passionate about and speaks to how we might move forward collectively”.

“ Marilyn Mintercreates pieces described as both shiny and grotesque, glittering and filthy. Her captivating flag was created by layering photographs against a glass, which was then subjected to frost or mist, adding an extra veil to both image and process.

Painting With Words, Writing With Color

“You see things sometimes in New Jersey that are just so beautiful.”

“What’s great about Dahlia is that if you look at the earliest work, from the early 2000s, and the last paintings she’s done just this year, you see the same hand there,”
