Repeat Pattern | RISD Museum Workshop
The repeat pattern was inspired by a vintage rug in the textile gallery. Then, rather than imposing a portrait (we were to create a self-portrait for this excercise), similar to Kehinde Wiley’s work, I created a cutout overlay to reveal the repeat pattern through the dress. The image I created is from a women in a light box installation by Kota Ezawa with appropriation of a photo in Cindy Sherman’s film life series, Untitled Film Life No. 11
