One way to challenge the mundane everyday is to reveal surprises within it, says Flore. Her subjects are young women being levitated by objects. Flore wishes to emphasize the attraction the girls feel towards their new, boundless surrounding, and the lightness of the reality they are entering into. Their contorted movements is meant to articulate a contrast between physical limitation and the limitlessness of imagination.</small></p> <p>[more <a href="http://artchipel.tumblr.com/tagged/Maia_Flore" target="_blank">Maia Flore</a> | artist found at <a href="http://darksilenceinsuburbia.tumblr.com/post/51451156629/maia-flore-website" target="_blank">darksilenceinsuburbia</a>]</p> </blockquote>http://julie-annsimpson.tumblr.com/post/53108973913http://julie-annsimpson.tumblr.com/post/53108973913Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:00:19 +0100<p>Having difficultly deciding when it&#8217;s okay to start wearing blue lipstick (and a whole host of other, socially-challenged make-up colours)&#8230;?<br/>Also, the same applies to the whole coloured dyebrow thing&#8230; I did go to uni one day with bright pink eyebrows and matching lipstick.
