The Jacket Project (subjects)

 
 

My mom bought this jacket for me back in 1976...at the Alexander’s store on route 4 in Paramus, NJ. It was a survival tactic I used back then...to look bigger and tougher! For the most part it worked! Like an archeologist I recently unearthed it from the depths of my closet. I wanted to do something artistic with it. Use it for a project. I had an idea that is basically that of film director Jim Jarmusch’s. In his movies he would bring characters together using one item. For my project I had people from all walks of life wear it for a photo shoot. It was a rewarding experience for me! A Summer project-‘2014.
