It is interesting how her work is a response to the childhood hardship of hallucinations and nightmares that gave her an outer body experience. The rooms that she created with polka dots and mirrors give a psychological unbalance that she would experience during her childhood horrors. Another influence to her work is the phallic images of her father she was forced to watch from her mother. Her mother told her she had to watch her father be promiscuous with women. Interesting past.
Yeah her early childhood has definitely been a main part of her creativity and the body of her art, and the hardship of a mental disorder, schizophrenia. Luckily she has enough ability to make her thoughts, nightmares, hallucinations, delusions, and all kinds of invisible colors to physical forms and colors of art... It was such a tragedy that she had been through the childhood, but at the same time, that made her this far. So since we all know (at least you and I) where her works come from, I'm not sure about buying her polka dots prints hand bags at Louis Vuitton haha.
yea I actually just took a picture of the store window at Lenox this past wednesday night. I got weirded out when I knew the background of the work. They look cool though. ;)
