Marci Washington Interview
Fecal Face just introduced me to the work of Oakland artist Marci Washington via this interview. Seems like every new artist I get into is a graduate of California College of the Arts and Crafts. I love the way she describes her most recent work:
“It’s like I’m illustrating a novel that doesn’t exist. If it did, it would probably be a lot like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, or Bleak House- novels which function as social commentary as well as beautiful romantic epics.”
Spooky and beautiful and tragic … all her images express so much pain and loneliness whether it’s a gold chandelier shining brightly in an otherwise empty & pitch black room, a body floating down some misty river or a woman frozen in place, transfixed by her reflection.
