I am the youngest of six that grew up among artists. I have a lot of
talented artists in my family and I was fortunate enough to sit back
and watch each one make their move with their own mediums that helped
them express themselves as the artists they are. I took a leap into it
and started my own clothing line
with text and paint, painting my own poetry on clothing. I have been
writing since I was about eight years old and the two came together for
me in college at SDSU. The art of typography is a beautiful thing to
me. I am inspired by lyrics and words and text in a sense that allows
me to express myself artistically in a medium that is so versatile. I
am currently living in San Diego working on my clothing line, Lyric Clothing by Alexandra Domont ( www.alexandradomont.com), and working for an amazing company called Ember Arts providing hope around the world ( www.emberarts.com).
Inspiration for my Mannequin:
What inspired me first throughout this mannequin process was
my health and my heart, I had some health issues in the beginning and wanted to
use them to my advantage creatively. I thought about myself and other women
going through what I was going through, and wanted to express myself in a
poetic way. I love typography, and I've
been writing poetry for many, many years and love to be able to put the two
together. Fashion has always been a love
of mine and finding a way for art to meet fashion was inspiring in itself. My main focus was creating art from the
heart. The poems are all inspirational poems about loving yourself and being
strong about who you are. To me this
means finding strength in your own way, not in ways that other perceive you
"should" be strong; but being strong for you. My mannequin holds a heart behind her back
with open hands, being open with caution, continually self reflecting.
