Summer 2015: Artwork
Give Up the Queen and Nobody Gets Hurt
by Rachel Mulder
Size: 40" x 55"
Medium: Typewriter drawing on paper
Artist Statement:
This typewriter drawing is based on a photograph by an unknown source of my absurd and beautiful friend Taylor, who commissioned the piece. There was a part of me that felt insincere, that I wasn't actually making anything since the image I had taken wasn't even mine or manipulated by me, which colored how I went about creating the piece.
