Mother-in-Law's Brainscan as Art
On the window above the taped “HELP” is the brainscan also taped to the window.
In episode 2, in Season 3 of High Maintenance on HBO one of the characters is Darby who among other hustles she has going on around town, steals items from our corporate office job to resell on Craigslist. If you look closely, the items laying around her apartment ready to sell match items in her office.
We wanted to flesh out her character as a strange, dark, and creative woman with many little art projects in and around her apartment.
On the desk are many little art projects we created as we imagined Darby would have started
After gathering a bunch of elements to put together these aspects of her character, we still needed somethings that were off-kilter and a bit off.
So I searched around my own apartment for things that might add to this part of Darby’s character and then I saw my mother-in-law’s brainscan and was like hmmm this could work. And it ended up being a star.
