Artist Statement... Let Them Eat Cake

ARTIST STATEMENT

MY INTENT FOR THIS EVENT IS TO JOLT MY AUDIENCE INTO THE STERN AND SPECIFIC MIND-SET THAT THE CULTURES OF FASHION AND ART WILL NOT SUBSIDE WHEN THE ECONOMIC SOCIETY FALLS INTO A SUBSTANDARD STATE.

THROUGHOUT HISTORY, DURING TIMES OF DEPRESSION, RECESSION, WAR, HATRED AND DIFFICULTY THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS GROWTH AND REBIRTH OF PASSION AND REBELLION. MARIE ANTOINETTE WAS A DEFINITIVE PERSON OF INFLUENCE FOR THIS EVENT. SHE EMBODIED THE REBELLIOUS AND OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK I WOULD LIKE THE 21ST CENTURY TO BEGIN TO RESEMBLE. AS QUEEN OF FRANCE, WHILE THE COUNTRY WAS SUFFERING FINANCIALLY AS A RESULT OF WAR DEBTS AND GOVERNMENT MISLEADERSHIP, MARIE ANTOINETTE DECIDED TO SUSTAIN A FULFILLED LIFESTYLE AND TO CONTINUE TO INDULGE HERSELF IN THE MANY PLEASURES OF FASHION AND ART.

THIS SHOW WILL CREATE A REVOLUTION AND CAUSE ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH, AFFECTED BY, OR HOLDING ANY APPRECIATION FOR THE ART AND FASHION CULTURE TO RESTORE HOPE AND INDULGE IN THEIR PASSIONS. THE GOAL IS TO ENERGIZE THIS REBELLION AND “LET THEM EAT CAKE” AS A WAY TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THIS COUNTRY AND ALSO FOR THE SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION OF OURSELVES.
