  1. A sculpture/installation artist I always take note and inspiration from is Ed Kienholz. I went to an exhibition at the National Gallery last year which was exhibiting his installation piece "The Hoerengracht". It is a recreation of Amsterdam's red light district. I thought the lighting and atmosphere he uses and created was stunning. These great photos you took really remind me of Kienholz's use of lighting and moody scenery. Here is a link to his work, unfortunatly the exhibition has ended, but I think you still could possibly draw inspiration and ideas by looking at his work:

    Also his installation reminds me of the Taxi Driver film's narrative on Jodie Foster's character Iris, which I saw you documented earlier in the blog.
