Make Me Pretty

I had a few hours spare between meetings in London yesterday and headed to Somerset House for the SHOWstudio Fashion Revolution exhibit. The topic usually leaves me cold but within this retrospective of the innovative website of the same name I came across some genuinely inspiring work. It was great fun to doodle using light projection upon a 7 metre tall naked statue of Naomi Campbell, cut via lasers in an amalgamated 3D pose in reference to Warhol's tri-part Elvis Presley (1963), but with more than a whiff of a Ray Harryhausen Shiva - or should that be Gorgon?
Everyone in there was giving her moustaches, brown splodge enemas (yes, you could project from the rear too), spotted knickers, slanderous speech bubbles and boxing gloves. Love it.
