UNTITLED
I had been experimenting with lace patterns for a few weeks when I came across this series of double exposure lingerie photographs. I had never played with double exposure in my illustrations before. I scrapped the first one I did; and thought that it just wouldn’t work. I tried again with this image. First outlining every part of overlapping limbs. Then I analyzed the two photographs individually. As I attempted to cover a single exposure, it dissected the figures even more.

But this is less an act of anti-fashion graffiti than an exposure of what lies beneath the surface. Haynes speaks to us about fashion versus art, symbolic inscription, and her dreams of a lifetime of doodling.
What’s your relationship to fashion versus art?
