Digital Fabric Swatch for Light, 2023
Light is a reinterpretation and appreciation of historical paintings through a modern lens with digital tools (Procreate).
Seen: Inspiration drawn from the works of Oliver Messel, 1904 - 1978, English artist and stage designer, and his daring use of the colour white - considered a forbidden colour for stage because it can flare under lights and wash out the performers face.
Costume designed by Oliver Messel in 1932 for stage performance ‘Helen!’ - plot centering on the abduction of Helen of Troy.
Helen of Troy, daughter of Zeus and a mortal woman. Abducted by the prince of Troy, sparking the Trojan war. Her beauty forever immortalized in literature and legend.
