Grace Coddington is the current creative director of US Vogue since 1988. Recently Grace worked with photographer Tim Walker and supermodel Kate Moss for a spread in the April issue. I found the spread incredibly inspiring; Walker creates majestic opulence photographing Moss in Fall 2012 couture at the Ritz in Paris, France. It is evident the influence of Rococo architecture/artwork in the photographs. I love the over-the-top tackiness, which I find really aesthetically pleasing. I always pondered if objects could be campy, though I think those who adopt this design aesthetic are intentionally trying to create a space of indulgence and as we know camp only works best when it plays on the subject’s naïveté. Nevertheless, these photographs captivated me.
My subject this week is a continuation of last week, which are collages of textured, print paper and newspaper/newsprint paper.
Here is my completed ”Photographic Memory” drawing.
