Frida Kahlo

Roberto Montenegro (Mexican, 1887-1968), Self-Portrait, c.1955. Oil on canvas, 74.9 x 74.9 cm.

ALL 👏🏾 OF 👏🏾 THEM 👏🏾

Two pages from my new sketchbook - the second is a fisher-woman unknowingly hunting a deep sea creature, who she befriends, after she wounds it. They cannot communicate verbally. They spend a lot of time together on the water.  The creature outlives her for two hundred years, similarly interacting with her descendants. It does not try to swim with them when they cross the ocean and go to a different continent. It does not know when those offspring come back to visit, because it doesn’t understand the smell of their blood now.

This year’s event is in memory of Mexican refugees who died as they attempted to travel to the US.
