She can sing. She can act. She can make trash into art. Who knew Miley Cyrus was a triple threat.
The 21-year-old singer is premiering her art collection, entitled “Dirty Hippie,” in conjunction of fashion designer Jeremy Scott's New York Fashion Week show starting Sept. 10. The art collection will be featured at the V magazine’s office gallery beginning Sept. 11.
In an interview with V magazine, Cyrus explained how whenever she makes an art piece, everything that goes into making the sculpture she thinks about so it has a story, as exemplified in her sculpture entitled with the f-word, which consists of a vibrator with plastic pineapples and babies attached to it.
“This seems so [expletive] lame to say but I feel like my art became kind of a metaphor—an example of my life,” Cyrus said. “Because a bunch of [expletive] things kept happening. I’ve always been so [expletive] lucky. Everything has always just been easy for me.”
Cyrus elaborated on how she hated the beginning of this year because “everything that could go wrong kept going wrong.” She added the examples of her stint of going to the hospital and her dog Floyd dying. Cyrus then began taking the bad situations in her life and changing them for the good, which inspired her to make her art collection.
I had a bunch of [junk] and so instead of letting it be junk,” she said. “I turned it into something that made me happy.”
Scott said to V magazine that Cyrus and he are on the same wavelength idealistically.
“All of these stream of consciousness, colorful, playful, whimsical things mixed up together,” Scott said of Cyrus’ art collection. “I love that there’s a DIY feel to the sculptures, which is a part of the look of the [fashion] show.”
