Inspiration
Back in August 2009 I blogged about these images which initially inspired me. But I also wanted something a little different than the same-old-profile-look of most silhouette walls.
In September 2009 I read an article featuring the work of artist/photographer Katie Sokoler. This woman is talented, imaginative and absolutely FUN. I was soooo inspired by Katie's kitschy attitude that came across in this silhouette collection she assembled (image via).
I wanted to reinterpret her concept in my home the following ways:
1. dynamic body images (instead of profile head shots)
2. silhouette subjects interacting with each other (LOVE the couple {above}holding hands)
3. represent my immediate family members - as well as places/objects that are meaningful to us
4. re-create the gag of something escaping the frame
Here is Katie Sokoler's Time Out NY article. Click on the image below to read Katie's specific suggestions and instructions to make your own silhouette wall:
