For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to be a hairdresser.
I became a fashion designer by accident. I loved to make portrait drawings when I was a teenager, and from that came the interest in what people were wearing and why they were wearing it.
I always wanted to be a hairdresser.
My work, in a certain way, got started in 1996 when I did an exhibition of thirteen paintings that were solely based on fashion imagery.
You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.
I started doing sculpture in 1959. I had no commissions then. They were painted, similar in style to the paintings... At a certain point, I decided I didn't want an edge between two colors, I wanted color differences in literal space.
I was inspecting eyeglass lenses for a while. And I worked as a concession girl in a movie theater. And I was ironing before that. I always had some kind of a job. And then I started modeling.
I was interested in making work that physically changed as it circulated through the art world.
I've been working in sculpture and painting since 1920.
Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.
