SPLIT, 2025
CHALK PASTEL ON SHAPED WOOD PANEL
74" X 36"
 
It's better with a Cherry, don't you think? SPLIT is a shaped panel, chalk pastel painting of an All-American classic dessert: the Banana Split. Just recently ripened, and still in the peel, this Chiquita Banana has been Split in half lengthwise and filled with a plump Maraschino Cherry in preparation for the most indulgent moment of capitalist consumption. The artist would like you to know; She ate the Banana, and spat the Cherry out.
