Oh, oh, oh---DO take a closer look at these (and 38 more!) fantastic hats by artist Lizz Daniels in her Virtual Show "Hats in a Pandemic".
More info, an interview, and link to Daniels's other art too.
(You can buy posters of her hats on her website.)
Linda Sue put me onto this fantastic artist, who is a friend of hers.
Lizz Daniels says:
“These hats came into being at the beginning of self-quarantine in March 2020, when ‘normal’ ceased to be normal and where everything took on a strange perspective. It was a time when I felt a certain sense of powerlessness creeping in. As such, It was the perfect time to embark on a creative journey such as this.
"For 60 days I was my true authentic self.
The hats gave permission for me to be me, freeing characters that had long been suppressed and enabling me to present myself to the public in an unashamed completely over the top way!
"The relief of finally putting to use some of the vast stash of materials I have been collecting for years was a blessing.””
Marz makes hat art too.
" and called it Macaroni", Hats for everyone!! Lizzie did a good thing, a hat a day out of the stuff laying about. Stuck indoors. Brilliant, authentic, miracle of art! I must send this to her, she would be well pleased! Thanks Fresca.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing collection of hats! I would never think to do anything like that. Also I don't have that much "stuff" just lying around. I never think much about hats, as long as I have my crumpled old sunhat to shade my face, that's all I need.
ReplyDeleteThese hats are very fun! Marz had made some wonderful hats...she ought to photograph them too.
