Tableau Vivant

Our friends at the St. Pete times had a session with the Visual Journalists (VJs). Each group of three selected a photo or painting to recreate. Here I am Matisse’s Jazz Icarus. The photo links to the original painting.

This was surely a test of patience and endurance. The whole project was done in 90 minutes and I was awkwardly and unnaturally laying like that for about an hour. I’m wearing black napkins on my feet and hands, a blazer on backwards, a dress over my head and an apple is cut in half to make the heart.
