Abstract:
Still Looking explores quotidian subjects from personal to political in the context of power, technology, feminism, and memory, themes that have emerged in various iterations of my work since the mid-1990s. Focusing on representational and observation painting and drawing, the talk discusses material and medium choices and how seemingly disparate projects develop, evolve, and intersect.
