From the FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE press release:
From Russia with Love is an installation featuring 72 portraits of Russian "mail order brides" drawn from photographs on internet sites. The
installation is an extension of the artist's previous work exploring
serial portraiture- yearbook photos, WWII military portraits- and the
idea of portraits of this nature serving as "human catalogues." Using
the laborious act of drawing each woman's likeness by hand, the piece
attempts to subvert the idea of these women being catalogued, while
alluding to their commodification through their presentation within a
storefront installation and bookwork "catalogue" multiple.
