Artist Inspiration... the Quay Brothers

Had the opportunity to visit the MOMA last week in Manhattan. I stumbled across a timely and perfect exhibit for the season... The Quay Brothers, twins, artists, photographers and film makers.

As I entered the room, a clock in a dome was mounted on the wall and a movie was playing in the background on a sideways slope. I could not draw my eyes away from the intriguing images of creepy dolls, sheer fabrics blowing in the breeze, a couple dancing. As I moved further into the exhibit, large posters, puppets and more creepy dolls decorated the walls. Cubicles with films drew me in to hours of intrigue and inspiration. So today I'd like to share some of what I saw with you... for the halloween season.
