THE GLITTER WONDERLAND

THE MISSING UNICORN
A unicorn has gone missing and artist Camomile Hixon has invited the entire city of Manhattan to join the search. Based on a premise of the elusive nature of inspiration, Hixon developed a multi-media, interactive art piece that has begun with the loss of a pet unicorn, last seen entering Central Park at W. 72nd St.
This art piece stems from a popular Latin American song, El Unicornio Azul, written by the Cuban musician, Silvio Rodriguez.
While the folkloric pop song has been the subject of much interpretation, the loss of the blue unicorn is said to signify the loss of one's inspirational muse or creative soul. That longing feeling has been captured and reproduced in Camomiles effort to cover the city with posters and images asking the community to join the search for the missing unicorn.
SCINTILLA. In Scintilla, Hixon transformed a variety of everyday images and words into contemporary and at times even futurist pop glamour.
SPARKLE
Camomile exploded onto the New York City art scene in her first public showing at Tria Gallery in April of 2010. Using glitter as a primary medium, Camomile created a body of pop art that developed from her work as a musician and songwriter.
The shimmering quality of the glitter breathes life into the words and symbols, and allows for a deeper resonance with subtle meanings and interpretations.
