Inspiration for Covered In Klimt

Inspired by a passage written by my favorite author, Jeanette Winterson, in her novel, Art and Lies, I imagined the juncture between night and day, awake and dreaming, naked and concealed.

"Colours became her talismans. At the end of each black and white day, she dreamed in colour. At night, she soaked her body in magenta dyes, scrubbed herself with pumice of lime. The pillow was splashed in crimson by her black hair. She slept under a cloak of Klimt." Jeanette Winterson

I immediately visualized black houses silhouetted against a dark sky, contrasting with gold tinged patterns on a glorious quilt that covered a reclining nude.

Her body is revealed as part of the patterns in the quilt that includes jewel tones and patterns inspired by paintings by my favorite artist, Gustav Klimt.

Look closely to see the layers of fabrics and thread stitching.

KLIMT'S MUSE AT MIDNIGHT

Inspired by the deep dark blues in Gustav Klimt's portrait painting of Emilie Flog,
I added more sensuality, allowing her body to be revealed in her dress. I imagined Klimt in his studio, painting his muse at midnight, beneath a gold moon and stars.
Look closely to see the layers of fabrics and thread stitching.

THE DANCER IN KLIMT'S GARDEN

I created this piece for my exhibit at the gorgeous Filoli Gardens, historic estate in Woodside, California. I was inspired by Klimt's painting, The Dancer, but wanted her in a beautiful garden filled with flowers as in his lovely landscapes.

	LADY KLIMT was created for a musician who collects antique musical instruments and asked if I could include a Japanese lute (biwa). I planned on placing the biwa in the bottom corner and then realized by changing the arm positions slightly, I could have her play the instrument.
