69 Witch Eyes "Legend has it that while filming the 1956 film noir picture ‘Autumn Leaves’ director Robert Aldrich asked the 51 year old screen Goddess Joan Crawford if she could ‘cry on cue’. Crawford, at this time was a 31 year veteran of the motion picture business who had already received three Academy Award nominations and won once, 10 years earlier. When ask this question she is reported to have turned to the director and replied, ‘Out of which eye?’ That response was the impetus for this show.” - Mx Justin Vivian Bond, the supremely talented singer, cabaret performer, writer and all-around cultural and sexual provocateur talking about their exhibition ’69 Witch Eyes’. For the show ’69 Witch Eyes’ (which took place in 2020) Mx Justin Vivian Bond worked on a set of sixty-nine 4-by-4-inch watercolours of the left eyes of their icon’s. Authors, movie stars, singers, drag queens and more - from Truman Capote to Joan Crawford. Many of which were pre-sold prior to the exhibition. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #cabaretperformer #singer #songwriter #author #transgenderactivist #visualartist #artist #kikiandherb #icons #lefteye #witcheye #69witcheyes #mxjustinvivianbond https://www.instagram.com/p/CbHtmd3s4QQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
