Chateau Glampire

Selection of images from Chateau Glampire, Thesis Project from SVA MFA Illustration as Visual Essay.

Exhibited at SVA Chelsea Gallery in May 2018.

“Get lost in the spooky, beautiful, labyrinthine corridors of my mind and enjoy your stay at the Château Glampire! Explore each opulent room, and take in both the decor and the snapshots of the mysterious residents' lives. Patterned wallpapers introduce the color scheme and theme of each room, and the subsequent paintings follow suit to give a distinct look and feel to each section of the house. The images themselves explore body horror, anxieties surrounding sexuality, and the power of femininity, but always with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Every inch of this project is dripping in blood, rhinestones, and pearls so, boo! and enjoy!”
