Big ghost moths
Something about Audrey Kawasaki's paintings grabs me by the heart/throat and just won't let go.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.
-from Audrey's website, audreykawasaki.com
Her paintings remind me of seventies YA fiction covers, china figurines, thrift store artwork, winter nights. She has a journal (
i_seldom_do) that she updates with works in progress & odds & ends (like these super fierce photos of herself on Halloween as a character from Katamari Damacy).
(This is my dream haircut.)
