Williams College Museum of Art Presents
Emily
Driscoll: Works
May
31–July 13, 2008
Press release
Presenting the work
of Emily Driscoll, Williams Graduate Class of 2005, this exhibition
features a broad range of works on paper, the principal medium
in which the artist worked. Driscoll's works are meticulously
rendered in wax, pen, ink, and marker. Many depict figures in
a dream-like world, where the inhabitants have curious attachments,
additions of apparatus or extra limbs, and are in the act of
either putting on or removing the items as if they were accessories
and clothing. The figures, in their curious garb, seem to be
simultaneously connected to and bound to others in a collective
drama that comments on the human condition.
