New Works: Teen TV Spoilers and Elusive Marilyns

Hey folks! I’ve been busy! I’ve finished up a few pieces!

The first piece, “Someone This Week Will Die. (R.I.P. Marissa)”, is my favorite piece of my Marissa series so far.  The composition of this piece is based on visual style used in promotions for various teen television series.

We know Marilyn Monroe as bright, bold, and omnipresent.   As a result, the images of Marilyn I find most interesting are the quiet illusive ones, often on poorly preserved materials.  For me with Marilyn, less is more and my most recent pieces have this in mind.
