Many of the works you mentioned, representing a solitary figure reading and thinking, have been done since my older sister and then my mother died.
Can you talk about the role solitude plays in your work in the studio, in your writing and your political activism?” Answer: In the drawings and paintings from the last few years, including your most recent work in “Death is a Conceptual Artist”, a solitary figure sits, reclines or stands, lost in thought, marked by their solitude. Her current show Death Is A Conceptual Artist at Lyles & King Gallery includes new paintings that explore the link between the artist, nature, the body, and language and an installation of twenty-five large, delicate, and darkly satirical figurative drawings on the condition of the woman artist.
