Lion's Share (2014)
“the fortune cookie prophesied. Jana stared at Marilyn sitting across from her. Marilyn’s Indian cotton blouse was cut low—you could see the top of her large breasts over the neck and the outline of her bra beneath the thin fabric.

If she got the commission, she’d work with a foundry, producing metal cutout figures, sculptures with a painting’s one-dimensional surface.MoreLess
