The Black Collars. 2021-24
Their names are Ernestine, Marta, Léa, Andrée, Nora, to name a few...
"The Black Collars" is an ongoing project and a growing collection of portraits. I find old beautiful vintage frames and paint women, all named after women in my french and swedish families. Some I never new and some I live with. With a subtile halo, these women are called the Black Collars, as opposed to "white ones".
Maybe to encourage disobedience…
