For one week only, purchase a limited edition artist print by Justine Kurland from her celebrated series Girl Pictures.

“From 1997 through 2002 I staged photographs of teenage girls in the American wilderness for my series Girl Pictures. Photography offered a way to imagine a coming world where a female experience would be foregrounded and affirmed, where our solidarity made us stronger. I borrowed the trope of the teenage runaway as an establish device, to free the girls from a prescribed domestic life and create a situation where they might forge their own community. The girls performed scenes of caretaking that became actual caretaking; feeding each other, brushing each other’s hair, walking arm in arm. I intended for them to playact a state of communal bliss. As it turned out, the girls were enthralled just by being together and making pictures. They jumped and half-skipped around each other each time we descended from the car and trekked into spaces of make-believe.” – Justine Kurland
