Props and Art work










by Emma and Kat
Over one weekend, myself and Kat came together to start work on props after studying photos of the origional Factory, and watched a bonus feature included on the "Factory Girl" Dvd, where the director George Hickenlooper discussed his interpretation of what the Factory should look like in the film.
Afterwards, we spent a whole day alone on creating art pieces similar to Warhol's own pieces, and then we searched around for unusual props in scrap-yards and thrift shops. We decided to give some of the props an "edge" by spraypainting them silver too. We also created space-age themed displays to place around the Factory as well.
What we tried to do with our props is go for a variation in scale, e.g. a small painting in comparison to a large traffic cone. We also tried to use quite random props to symbolise the "craziness" and eclectic world of Andy Warhol.
