Tura Santana tribute piece for the M Modern Gallery

Inspired from the Russ Meyer's cult classic "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" It is 3 dimensional with glow-in-the-dark telephone lines and sun. I created the frame with a vintage black lacquer look in mind.

 I grew up watching old movies and TV shows and was thrilled when saw that Tura Satana Productions was putting on a tribute show at the M Modern Gallery in Palm Springs. Opening reception: Saturday, Sept 15th, 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
