SOPHIA NARRETT, detail.


SOPHIA NARRETT, does that say: CRUEL VICTIMS . . ???


is this a harsh, soft . . complicated, and sad . . narrative, or what ?!!
did the drunk lovers crash . . on the way to a ‘make out’ spot ?
on their way back from the . . wedding reception.


tragedy unfolds . . on the ‘grassy’ hill.


JENN BOCHYNSKI.
from soft to . . hard.
shiny, abstract – no ‘obvious’ narrative . . but very very curious.

KATHLEEN GRANADOS.
both soft, and hard . . surfaced. and narrative.


looks to be crochet / soft . . adhered to a strong and non-pliant . . backing / hard.
the message ?
DON’T MESS WITH ME !!


HANNAH RAWE.
day ‘dress’ . . anybody ?
it’s funny how the stripes and knee pads complete the scenario. and the orange hue, of course.

CAROLINE SNOW.
in fact ‘chairs’ were a small sub-text all to their own – in the show.

you know, tables and chairs.
girls and . . boys.
the good, the bad, and the ugly.


in-your-face . . BAD !!
ever notice how ‘girls’ can be so romantic, and so deconstructed – all at the same time !!!


GIRLS, ONLY !!
