When Cirque du Soleil was just beginning in its big blue and gold tent next to the Santa Monica Pier, I became friends with Amelie, one of its French acrobats. She was very excited about getting involved in avant-garde art projects and wanted to do one with me. We set up a photo session at Artist Susan Murphy's studio in Venice and spent the day shooting. The results were the inspiration for Leather and Lace. Years later, Amelie sent me a single of her singing in a French punk rock band.
