We all do it. I admit I Facebook stalked Sam Barton, but only because I loved her work so much. Through social media, I discovered she was not only a fantastic artist, but had a fierce sense of style. Barton takes risks in both fashion and in her artwork. She creates pieces that force us to confront our ethics and ask ourselves, “Who is in charge here?” The answer is simple: Sam Barton.
So you mentioned you plan to dress as Babe-raham Lincoln for Halloween. US Presidents are sometimes the subject of your artwork. Are you “repping the brand” or making a political statement?
I would say a little of column A and a little of column B. I like to think that there could be humor, branding, and a hidden political statement in all the things I do. I like to poke fun at patriarchy, the objectification of women, and “celebrity” status, but most of all, I just really love the movie “Wayne’s World” (hopefully some of you will get that reference).
What are the benefits of having one side of your head shaved. Do you experience faster morning prep time?
The ONLY benefits of having one side shaved is: a) Finally being able to rep Sandra Denton from Salt-n-Pepa b) Mad compliments. Other than that, it’s a total pain! I do not get ready any faster, and I do not want to even THINK about the growing out process! And my oh my are the Ohio winter winds cold against my head!
It’s hard to believe you are only 5 feet tall because your outfits convey a sense of strength. Would you consider your clothes to be more of a jet pack or body armor?
I have always thought of my clothing more as body armor. It’s probably a Napoleonic complex, but I do what I can to appear strong, capable, respectable, and in charge. As my friend always says to me, “You may be small, but you got it all”!!
