#art #history: o, the ignominy of admitting that i'm not extremely intimate with the oeuvre of my subject...
still, she sounds so rad that i had to make sketchy ode to adrienne rich (born #otd in 1929). an essayist & poet who centred the oppression of women & lesbians in her work, adrienne was also a jewish pro-palestinian activist involved with the new #jewish agenda who supported the #BDS movement.

mixed media digital illustration i drew of poet, feminist & activist, adrienne rich. a young & smiling adrienne wields a fountain pen in her right hand, her cheek leaning against the same hand. her left arm is draped over the back of a basic chair. colours are peach, rust & royal indigo.
