The Boudoir

Emily loves stage props, which occasionally become characters in their own right.

Accompaniment

The ubiquitous curtain plays a new role, hiding the head of the female character. Earlier in the 11x14 Series, as in the painting below, the hiding was accomplished by simply removing the head - not in a violent way, but rather quietly and peacefully.

The Hairdresser

What can I say - Emily likes bald heads.

Reflection

Emily's fascination with flat, graphic patterns raises havoc with the space in her paintings. Compare with an earlier painting below, and note the variation on the curtain device.

Robot With Green Ball

More in the 11x14 Series: a rare solo performance by a male character. This brings to mind a comment in Emily's current Artist's Statement about the robots in her work: they tend to appear in my narratives as emotionally fragile, yet happy to be alive, as it were.
