Since i was very young i have been a fan of Robet Mapplethorpe's work...but more recently I have been so much more interested in him as a Man and as a person....I just recently read "Just Kids" by Patti Smith...never been a big fan of hers but the book was POWERFUL...it told of a New York i always dreamed of living in...new , wild and dangerous....a New York on the edge...she tells a tale of two peope in love...with each other and with a city....a city i love so much as well...and we all KNOW New York is not nearly the same as it was....and allthough we must always move forward Its amazing to look back as well...
I don't usually do 'lines' since I do one of a kind things...but I do get "inspired" sometimes...While reading this strory I reaized Robert made jewelry for him and Patti......Little beady trinkets all fetishy and witchy with skulls and rabbits feet and feathers and woven with the magic of those early New York days living in Brooklyn or the Hotel Chelsea...So i think I may try to make a "Line" based on his work....I want to try to capture the simplicity and the eroticism of his work....the fetish and the Fetish....and maybe a little bit of Magic too....
this is good
