  1. I don't remember these. Are they from pre-2010? ...before we started to have Sally's class together?

    1. Yes, they were earlier and really the second series of repetitive figures. The first series were gestural human forms. I wanted to switch to something more symbolic so I chose paper dolls.

  2. I am very familiar with Raine's work. She is a Lousiana artist and shows at one of my favorite galleries in the Warehouse District of NOLA. Her installations ROCK.... and I think they are even stronger than her paintings. I highly recommend seeing her work in the flesh when you have the chance.
