Custom Interior Portraits
I offer custom portraits as a social practice culminating in your one of a kind Interior Portrait. Your custom portrait will be taken where it will make you most comfortable- in a private atmosphere of safety and respect, with myself and two assistants present. The finished piece will be pink, abstract and enveloping. It can make a great story, or…no one has to know.
The process may include:
A studio visit at Project for Empty Space.
Another meeting to get to know you better and detail what to expect during the photo session. (click Residency at Ace Hotel 2019 for images)
An Interior Portrait photo session.
I curate my photo choices.
You choose your favorite.
Fine art signature print style collaboration and decision.
Small prototype for approval.
Final piece.
Installation and hang.
Choices for final works include:
Dye Sublimation
HD Metal Prints
30 × 40 in, 12 x11 in, various custom sizes
Archival C Print, Plexiglass
59 × 80 × 3 in, various custom sizes
I also offer fabrics: curtains, pillows and Interior Chairs.
We can collaborate and put your Interior Portrait on anything your heart desires.
HANDMADE GIFT CERTIFICATES (with complimentary Pussy Bow!) AVAILABLE
I imagine a dinner party, your new Interior Portrait installed prominently, or tucked away. Maybe after a glass or two of wine, your guests comment on the addition. “Abstract, beautiful.”
In one scenario, I imagine you smile a secret smile to yourself, pour another glass for your guests, talk about the art world in general.
OR
In another scenario, I imagine you saying, “You’ll never guess what it is!”
“Is it a painting?
“No, it’s a photograph. An unretouched photograph.”
“Of what?”
“That’s what you are supposed to guess.” Other guests gather.
From across the room, someone calls, “Is it a close up of the inside of a baby rabbit’s ear?”
“A cat’s tongue?”
“Seriously, you’ll never guess….”
Guesses abound. There’s insinuation, curiosity, an air of anticipation.
“Actually, it’s my…….”
Shock, delight, frivolity, and daring conversations follow.
