Read “A Fairytale Nightmare”,
#Interview magazine's conversation with
#NatalieFrank on
interviewmagazine.com. And join us tomorrow at The Drawing Center for the evening opening of all our spring exhibitions, 6-8pm.
INTERVIEW: How do you come up with the people you incorporate?
FRANK: Whenever I meet someone and I'm drawn to their face, I'll ask them if I can photograph them. I usually like to go to their home, light them, dress them, and then photograph them. I keep the pictures, and then when I start a painting or a drawing, I go into that pile and pull out whatever seems appropriate. But with these stories, I knew right away what figures I wanted as the protagonists, and most of them are women. I did try to interpret these tales, or read them from the vantage point of being a woman, but also because of their feminist sources.
