Emily Prest

‘Used in the Shadows’
My piece is inspired by Toulouse Lautrec and old Hollywood movie posters.  I chose Twiggy because she is one of my idols and she tied into ‘Shadow and Shade’ in a way that doesn’t always come to mind at first.  She was a young girl being used for her talents and beauty to benefit other people – something that would be just like the Moulin Rouge dancers that Toulouse Lautrec drew.  I placed her somewhere she’d be regularly, the runway/catwalk, also like the Moulin Rouge dancers.
