I happened upon some of her paintings in person, at the Harrison Center. As you can imagine from the materials listed, these works have an amazing physical presentation. I love the combo of such lavishly rough handling with the naive rendition style. In person these have some very intense optical spatial characteristics; the table planes cut your face in two. You gotta love that.

I had a package of gold leaf in my hand last week. I carried it around the store until I finally put it down while checking out. I remember thinking "Not now, I'm not ready".
I love "Red violet Roses with Lambs ears" it could be a knife pull.
"Not now, I'm not ready". That's funny.
I wish the physicality of these showed better online, because it's all pushed and pulled around.
