Performance art shows have the potential to be fun and interesting events, especially when they come with cool posters. Mirrored paper is something that I just don’t see very often, especially paired with glitter. Come to think of it, more things should be glittered.
This poster was created for an epic one night house show in Nashville, TN. The show entailed The Keeper scripting an event that would tell about the many unseen sides to his life, performed through song, commentary, and Q&As with the audience. He wanted to be transparent about his life and to have something reflective of his show to give to all that attended. It had to be on mirror paper, in order to speak to the reflective quality of the evening and allow those who owned a poster to see themselves in the same life situation. I wanted people to think about their own life story and what heights they were being held from by the constraints on their life, like The Keeper. With endless metaphors, glitter on mirror paper was the appropriate combination which also provided me the diamond dust look i wanted.
