Show Number 9: 13.August - 9.October 2005 The recurrent threads that have kept showing up in her work are sex, death and birds. In this show the two works consider issues of love and loss, navigating youth, costume, and identity. The young women are collaborators, protagonists in small but universal stories. Thinly masked sorrows are processed but there is also hope and respite. |
