Here I have re-created four of Lisa's iconic outfits from the movie Weird Science, using a combination of appliqué and embroidery techniques on stretched canvas. For these pieces I envisioned Lisa, the quintessential digital girl, living a 2020 digital life, and these as Instagram "Outfit of the Day" posts. (Hence the square format and flat lay style of presentation.)
