HIL COOK BLOG: OMG - 4 of my works have been chosen for Italian Vogue

OMG - 4 of my works have been chosen for Italian Vogue

Over the past few weeks myself and Ange worked with Photographer Mandi Lynn, Designer Kerrie Huges and Hat Maker Liza Foreman working on creating our interpretation of the white Goddess and the Dark Goddess. Each artist bought there own interpretation and as a collective we created something beautiful. Our Pictures were submitted to Italian Vogue and 4 of them made the cut woop woop.

On the Dark side shoot, we were lucky enough to have Derek Elvy join us to create some of his interpretation with some amazing hair work.

We are trying to get the best Portrait art but we need votes. Here is the link for our 4 Vogue pics, please scroll through the 4 and vote on each one to help us out. We will be eternally grateful and it helps us little Kiwis are compete on an international level. :)

We created our looks from this amazing piece of poetry

Here is how she is defined:

She represents the Muse, -comes from moon Goddess- a triple Goddess -death, birth and beauty, presides over all acts of generation- physical, intellectual and spiritual.
The Goddess is a lovely slender woman with a hooked nose, deathly pale face, lips as red as rowan berries, startlingly blue eyes, long fair hair. She will transform herself into a sow, mare vixen, weasel, serpent, tiger, mermaid or loathsome hag. Her names and titles are imnunerable. In ghost stories she is the White Lady, in ancient religions the white Goddess.
The reason why the hairs stand on end , eyes water, skin crawls when one reads a true poem is that a true poem i an invocation of the W G or muse- the ancient power of lust and fright- the female spider whose embrace is death.
