A-Bombshell (2014)

I grew up admiring old black & white images from the silver screen era. I was particularly infatuated when the subject was Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe. Their timeless allure   captivated my imagination at an innocent age. Marilyn Monroe and her famous “Seven Year Itch” movie from 1955 gave us an iconic all-time image of her halter dress billowing directly above a 63rd & Lexington subway grate. My attempt at witticism is found in the title “A-Bombshell” combined with an atomic bomb’s mushroom cloud replacing Monroe’s head and shoulders. She was known to the world as the “blonde bombshell” and I made sure it was in a literal sense with this piece. The explosive impact of Monroe and her enduring effects on society has been that of legend and unforgettable stature in American history.
