GROTESQUE GREEN WHORE PAINTING / SCULPTURE

A lot of my art was so frightening that I threw it n the street when I finished making it. This one I think I immediately gave to my friend who collects my work. The painting is cut to be three dimensional and is stuffed with cut kitchen sponges, acots and ties I refused to wear. It is covered in liquid plastic. It was hanging low in the collectors house and she recently cut herself on it. When I saw it I remembered how horrid I thought it was, as I had put it out of my memory. dates from the mid 1990's.

EARLY 1990'S NIGHTCLUB ART & PAINTING OF THE GODDESS

The above collage I think I had to make for a class when at SVA. It depicted my friends and I at the club 'Make-Up Room' at Webster Hall.

This acrylic was of The Goddess had people in placentas and and burglars at the bottom. I believe I was in high school when I made it. Serena, who has much of my art, loves it and always has it displayed. It is roughly three feet high.
