This multimedia still life concept blossomed from a painting I did of the 1944 noir film “Laura.” My mission is to create an homage to the film, featuring in depth references to plot, dialog, actors and the director. A deep dive into escapism.
All handmade items are fictional and hand-created by me, they include: record album cover (front & back; record company logo, song titles, hand inked illustration on back, catalog number), record album label, hardback book cover & whiskey bottle label.
Hand designed and printed book cover, reference to McPherson’s past experienceHand designed and printed label mounted on a bottle of whiskey, reference to LydeckerHand designed and printed label mounted on vinyl record, reference to Ann Treadwell’s imagined support of Shelby.Hand designed and printed LP cover, reference to Shelby’s imagined project.Hand drawn, designed and printed back of LP cover.
