With Halloween around the corner, perhaps you have a costume party or a neighborhood candy trawl in your future. Still in need of a costume? Want a limited edition print of yourself? If so, please consider donning a crown of flowers, maybe a parrot or some swarthy eyebrows - your choice - and send me a snapshot at ellenheck at gmail dot com. In an effort to finish the "Forty Fridas" project, I still need at least 20 more volunteers dressed as Frida Kahlo who would be willing to be the subject of a limited edition of woodcut and drypoint prints (some of which could be shown at Wally Workman in June of 2012). I'd love to send you a print that was made from your reference image along with many thanks for participating in the project. (Which is, by the way, open to all genders and all ages.) Happy Halloween!
What it will be: The Forty Fridas ProjectWhat from you: a snapshot, or screenshot, or phoneshot of yourself being Frida (taken from straight on, if possible, to limit foreshortening)What for you: a print from the edition of yourselfAmbiance: everybody's wearing the Frida persona, but individuals still shine through
