Amanda Googe Explores the Alien Hidden Inside All of Us
by Anne Cooperstone
Aliens are landing in the City of Angels. New York-based artist and runway model Amanda Googe will be showing portraits at the W Los Angeles next week from her new series, "My Aliens," in which she's turned her and her loved ones' feelings of alienation into celestial, larger than life art works. The twelve 36x48" pieces each feature a lone extraterrestrial giantess traversing across geometric landscapes.
PAPER caught up with Amanda to discuss the intersection of fashion and art, her favorite new fashion collection, and why being a model often feels to her like the intergalactic space travel she renders in her art.
