body : language

I have always been interested in the ways in which we as humans express our conscious and unconscious feelings through our body movement. The way our bodies literally translate our feelings is very interesting. We hold ourselves when we are scared or uncomfortable. We lean towards those we love. We point our feet towards those we are interested in. Open or closed postures inviting or rejected social situations. Touching/covering the face signifies lying. This could be interesting to combine with the inspiration from Robert Longo's work. Constructing croque's bodies with psychologically inspired body language.

robert : longo

I like the silhouettes of Longo's work. I feel like there is really great movement

daniele : buetti

What I really like about his work is, first of all his technique. I like the idea of lightboxes. He uses them gracefully, and not in a tacky way. I feel like there is a sensitivity to his work- even though he he physically puncturing these models. I like feminity behind it, and his use of a stippling effect.

sandra : suy

Sandra's work is really glamourous and feminine. I enjoy her overall style, especially her use of color.

creative : fashion designing

Creating clothing out of materials other than fabric is something I have had increasing interest in. I have had some experience- two dresses. One dress made of fashion magazine clippings and another made of garbage bags, newspaper, duct tape, and tissue paper. This art form has gotten increasingly popular recently, including many designers trying it out, and fashion shows dedicated to this type of fashion.

2011 chrystler commercial: whatever happened to style?

Link to Chrystler Commercial

For many of the same reasons that I love the Gran Marnier commercial, I also love the Chrystler commercial. Although they are not exactly similar, they posses some of the same notions about vintage and nostalgic aesthetics. I really love the way that this commericial plays with montage, and their use of short but very effective shots. I love the subject matter and the style of the entire commercial.
