Adrienne Salinger


She was an intriguing person to listen to. Her work seemed very orderly, or obsessive, which I like. It seemed as though she gave herself specific assignments and then she would start rounding things/people up for that particular assignment. For example, she collected teeth, baseball gloves, and books. She showed me a new way to look at portraiture, she would indirectly show the person through their individual teeth, or the embarrassing books they had accumulated throughout the years. The portraiture of the middle-aged men kind of remind me of Chuck Close, the composition and the expressions on their faces.
