Cubism for Girls

The Apparition

This is the work I did my first years in New York City. I used magazine images of shoes, food, booze, interior design and sex to describe my vision of the world.

I became attracted to this image of a woman in shadows. This series contains sketches and ideas exploring the angelic or ghostly paper doll idea.
