I'm working on a series of drawings of women I feel oddly connected to (though I admit, distantly). First up is Kiki Smith - an odd choice since she's so eccentric. The connection? Our affinity for all things colorless - in other words, black. I think about a friend's birthday video from when I was 7(?) wherein all of the girls present were asked their favorite color. While pink and purple were obvious favorites among the partygoers, I appeared to be the only little lady who confidently cited a genuine preference to the color black. Yes, goth is weird. But goth at 7? Weirder.
