A Few Small Nips (Passionately in Love)

During the mid-1930s, she travelled, formed relationships of her own and produced paintings that made emotional injury visible without surrendering control.

A few small nips, inspired by a newspaper report about a murdered woman, connected private violence with the casual language used to excuse it.

In memory, the heart, an enormous bleeding heart lies at her feet, turning betrayal into a physical object.

These works were intensely personal but never simply diary entries.
