Qhov ntawd tiag tiag rau kuv yog lub sijhawm ntawd. "

Thiab yog li ntawd kuv pib xav txog cov neeg uas kuv paub. Kuv tsuas yog hais tias, 'Hav Kuv tabtom ua haujlwm ntawm phau ntawv no. Kuv xav tias koj puas xav sau ib yam dab tsi?' Thiab qhov ntawd yog nws. Yog li kuv cia cov neeg sau qhov lawv xav tias yog cov ntawv sau zoo rau kuv phau ntawv. Thiab yog li kuv xav zoo li kuv phau ntawv tau dhau los peb phau ntawv.”

Gorton's No Wave-era cov duab qhia txog kev zoo siab, kev txaus ntshai thiab kev muaj tswv yim thaum lub sijhawm New York City muaj kev ntxhov siab rau kev lag luam, ntau xyoo ua ntej nws tau los ua ib qho chaw kim heev nyob rau hauv.

Nws cov suab paj nruag fandom yog pom tseeb raws li ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm nws cov ntaub ntawv muaj xws li tshuab raj; cov neeg saib ntawm nws cov duab hauv phau ntawv yog thauj cov chaw uas tuav tsis muaj Wave ua yeeb yam xws li Tier 3, Max's Kansas City thiab CBGB.

Hauv kev piav qhia nws cov duab thaij duab, nws hu nws "glam-meets-grit" embodying ib tug xov tooj ntawm retro thiab glamour influences. "Nws zoo li xyoo 1930s deco. Cov George Hurrell cov duab los ntawm Hollywood, B-movies mus rau hauv tag nrho cov yeeb yaj kiab txaus ntshai uas kuv tau saib hauv TV los ntawm 50s, thiab tom qab ntawd glam nrog lub platform khau. Nws yog tag nrho ib feem ntawm Exhibit A. Thiab ces Exhibit B—uas yog grit — tej zaum kuv txiv txoj kev tuag, tsis muaj nyiaj, lub nroog qias neeg, nyuaj rau loj hlob, William Klein, Diane Arbus. Yog li ntawd muaj cov khoom uas sib npaug nrog cov yeeb yaj kiab hnub qub - thiab Helmut Newton: koj puas xav tau ntau tus thwjtim? thiab Chris Von Wagenheim. Muaj qee yam uas kuv nyiam thiab pom, tab sis kuv tsis tau xav txog ib qho ntawm lawv. "

Niaj hnub no, Gorton, uas nws cov duab thaij duab tau zoo nkauj tshaj tawm thiab nthuav tawm hauv tsev cia puav pheej thiab chaw ua yeeb yam, yog tus kws tshaj lij ntawm Parsons. Nws nco qab txog kev sib tham uas nws tau nrog nws tus tub, uas nyob rau hauv nws thaum ntxov 30s, tom qab nws soj ntsuam nws phau ntawv. "Kuv zoo siab heev uas nws muaj peev xwm paub qhov tseeb ntawm lub sijhawm los ntawm kev nyeem cov ntawv sau tsis paub tias leej twg sau cov ntawv sau lossis leej twg tiag tiag hauv cov duab. Nws tau txais. Nws hais tias, 'Nov yog phau ntawv kab lis kev cai,' thiab nws yog phau ntawv kab lis kev cai uas muaj ntau yam tau tshwm sim los ntawm - tej yam uas peb tab tom saib niaj hnub no thiab cuam tshuam ntau heev, thiab nws tag nrho ploj mus.

"Thiab yog li ntawd muaj kev tu siab me ntsis uas tej yam dhau 40 xyoo dhau los tau tsiv tawm ntawm tes ntawm tib neeg mus rau kev lag luam ntawm kev lag luam. Yog li ntawd muaj qhov kev nkag siab ntawm: 'Lub sijhawm no yog lub sijhawm zoo heev. Peb yuav tau txais ib yam dab tsi rov qab li cas? Peb yuav ua li cas thiaj ua tau ib yam dab tsi? Thiab puas yog tam sim no ua tau?'

“Kuv nyiam xav tias nws tseem ua tau. 'Kuv tau txais lub koob yees duab. Kuv coj cov duab. Kuv mus rau gigs. Kuv tham nrog tib neeg. Kuv ua zine.' Thiab qhov no yog nrog cov neeg pab kuv, tau kawg. 'Kuv tau txais kuv cov ntaub ntawv ua ke. Kuv pib ua ib phau ntawv. Kuv luam tawm phau ntawv. Nov yog DIY.' Kuv tos tsis tau ib tug ua qhov no rau kuv, vim tsis muaj leej twg yuav ua li no rau kuv.
