Seamlessly blending sex, body horror, isolation, and violence with humor, color, and a seductive sense of design and composition (or, as the artist puts it, “love, gags, shit, holes, crashes, and bodies”), Cutting Season is a tour-de-force of distorted romantic abstraction: an unnerving and sustained howl, in comics form, that demands attention like a raw,…
When her dementia-stricken grandmother Babi dies, 15-year-old Lucy –sensitive and sentimental, with a punky haircut and ears full of piercings– is left reeling and unmoored. That is, until a secret diary locked away in a hidden compartment drops out from Babi’s desk. What follows is a living epistolary, reflecting grandmother and granddaughter’s struggles with belonging….
Like waves lapping against the shore, Wolff’s multimedia musings are situated in the place where dream and memory converge — and solace is found. Lost & Found, which weaves together reality and the imaginary, the ordinary and the fantastical, and laughs at its own weirdness, is a wistful and melancholic fantasia that floats overhead and…
