Piece description from the artist
I had found this motel postcard from the 1960’s of the Madonna Inn located in California. There was this gold and pink decorated bar room that I fell in love with. Without the possibility of actually staying there during the 1960’s, I decided to recreate a scene in which a swanky, voluptuous bartender go-go dancer lays on top of the bar, seducing her customers.
