Holly Andres, "The Red Purse"
2008, 25x20 inches
The image is from Andres, "Sparrow Lane" series, a narrative of young women on the verge of adulthood. Andres says she is, "drawing on the formal and thematic conventions of Nancy Drew books, 1970s horror films and Alfred Hitchcock, the series depicts girls in search of forbidden knowledge."
I selected this image in hopes to recreate it successfully. I was intrigued with the use of lighting, and the way the subjects are highlit within the darkened room, the contrast between the warm and cool colors and way the light shines from the purse onto the girls face and captures her expression.
