Captive Mother

Heather Benjamin

2015, 2016

11.5x16.5”

These 19 pages are rich with formal and conceptual content! Tenderness, love, pain, and strength are represented in Heather’s bold style. Imagery inspired by old Hollywood love scenes and mythological creatures mix with stylized portraiture, violence, and scenes of intimacy. Curvacious and hairy women make direct eye contact with the viewer as butterflies, moons, and cockroaches mingle in the backgrounds. (Please note: images displayed here are crops of the originals).
