"Pictured leaning upright on my desk at home in Vienna, the graphite works on paper were initially inspired by an invitation from the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, CT for inclusion in 'Twenty Twenty,' an upcoming group exhibition slated to open this September. While my subjects have predominantly been sourced from 1960s and 70s cinema, in recent months I found myself increasingly drawn to contemporary imagery borrowed from politics, sports and entertainment. I began a search for unique moments that reflect immediate experiences of despair, hope and overload. Although the subject matter is centered around iconic women, these images are vehicles for the representation of sorrow, anger and delirium."
