Queens of Music, Masters of Style
What does a photographer who is also a Halloween enthusiast who also sings in a ‘90s cover band do with her new studio while under quarantine?
Step 1: Resist. Deny. Barter. Pout.
Step 2: Engage in heavy nostalgia, watching re-runs of Boy Meets World and listening to a playlist of Billboard top 100 hits from 1993.
Step 3: Notice a proliferation of cheap wigs, vintage and thrift store shopping gems, and bags of items waiting to be donated.
Step 4: Lightbulb.
One part self-preservation, equal parts boredom and a love of female musicians and the clothes they inspire, this photo project came with strict guidelines: Pay homage to one female musician each year from 1970-2019 who appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 that year using only items already found in my Austin apartment.
