For the interior, the color green underscores the stodgy, old-money values of her decaying, elderly father. The symbolic centerpiece is the father's imposing iron lung, which is a permanent fixture in the room. Green is carried through to Heather D's bedroom and walk- in closet, which take their inspiration from the Palace of Versailles. Christina Myal and I designed custom, ornate wallpaper, which was printed on gold foil stock. The wallpaper harmonized with the green damask in the living room and at first glance, appears innocuous. On closer inspection, the pattern reveals razor wire and CCTV cameras woven into the intricate floral pattern. The razor wire also serves as ominous foreshadowing. Heather Duke's walk-in closet was the only real opportunity to showcase the character's obsession with fashion, so the cabinetry was created with a custom pattern of florals, birds and thorny vines printed on gold micro-plexiglass. Backlit-textured plexiglass was used to highlight the hanging clothes and open shelving. Kellie dressed this set with particular attention to the gender fluidity of Heather Duke. B A C
