The Green Room
When you want a little Rock n Roll with your liquor Detail of the waiting area Kinda cozy, don’t you think? When your dressing room is en suite Great shot from just the right height Black and white actually showcases some of the design better You give a girl a guitar case shaped lunchbox and now THIS happens. Teeeeny bar of soap. Made from real soap. Also, all those tiles behind the sink were individually cut and installed because I HAVE TOO MUCH TIME. Yes, I made the box. Yes, I made the toilet roll. More tiny props Pretty proud of my little notebook and the magazine. I’ll also have you know that rumple was very carefully designed into the rug I like to think of this as one of those old 1920s Deco theatres that have become music venues: once glorious, now hard worn. Not gonna admit how much time I spent cutting out and gluing band stickers.
At the Christmas white elephant gift exchange I won a guitar case shaped lunch box and, for reasons that remain unclear, became preoccupied with the idea of turning it into a diorama. In January, I took a field trip to a miniatures store where I picked up the chair, the guitar, the rug, and some of the parquet flooring.
Then the project sat untouched for months.
When I finally got back to work I built out the walls- this was furthers delayed while I tried to sort out lighting- I was very convinced that lighting would be a key element in “selling” the world, but I didn’t have the foggiest idea how to go about it. But once I figured out the wiring and the battery packs and so on I could install the walls and begin to decorate them.
So. Many. Stickers.
So. Much. Distressing.
My idea was that I was creating a little green room for a musician. The venue had once been a glorious 1920’s deco theatre but had since been keelhauled along the bottom side of rock n roll history in dozens of chaotic layers. A place both cozy and homey and also a place that had been completely rockstar-ed many times over.
Anyway, I’m delights with how it turned out and now it’s installed in my liquor cabinet, which feels appropriate.
