Galeano Girls was created over six months of Zoom drawing sessions from Barcelona. I drew each of the 64 figures during a five-minute pose in charcoal on a 30″x48″ birch panel. There was no going back to “improve” or “correct” any of them. This celebration of the female body was an exercise in trust and courage for me. The text is by Uruguayan poet Eduardo Galeano.

La Iglesia dice: El cuerpo es una culpa.
La ciencia dice: El cuerpo es una máquina.
La publicidad dice: El cuerpo es un negocio.
El cuerpo dice: Yo soy una fiesta.

The church says: The body is a sin.
Science says: The body is a machine.
Advertising says: The body is a business.
The body says: I am a party.
