I started at the beginning of Autumn with a little nod to Isabella Rossellini by making reference to a rather beautiful
blog post I had found. Then last week I took a look at one of Isabella’s creative projects
Green Porno. I really wanted to create a design that acknowledged what I had discovered in respect to these rather odd little films. As an artist this presented a little problem initially, as I did not want to make images of insects and other creatures in a state of intimacy. This was compounded by the fact that these intimacies can get odd! If you have seen the series you will realise that something either grizzly, bizarre or deadly occurs. Tempted as I was to capture an image of a man bee with missing penis about to die because he had managed to copulate with a lady bee, I decided this was not the route for me at the moment.
I haven’t yet decided my reasons for avoidance and I will no doubt return at a later date to the subject matter and check it’s not cowardice of the subject.
Anyway… I created a T Shirt with a lot of bugs on it – they are all the same and are acting in a uniform manner – except one who not only looks different but is heading off from the others at a tangent. This brave little character could be someone you may aspire to be if you are wishing to break form the crowd and be an individual.
It’s also a tribute to Isabella Rossellini as the set of films she conceived, wrote, co-directed and featured in certainly set her apart in the acting community.
