Washington Post art critic Mark Jenkins also wrote about 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘴 𝘝𝘐𝘐𝘐 in his recent review of 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲. Read Hazel’s thoughts below and the Washington Post review via the link in our bio.

“In 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘴 𝘝𝘐𝘐𝘐, we see sketches of “the extraordinary and ordinary moments of life” swirl over and across the delicate gauzy material of the torsos. The fabric bodies are gently cast, hanging slightly above the viewer, the trio evoking balance and unity while their tattered edges and floaty presences appear spectral and otherworldly as if they have been around for a long time. This energy is furthered by Dion’s focus on mythology, history, and femininity throughout her art. Faded busts of classical women crowned with laurel wreaths hover beside hands stretching, reaching out, surrounded by abstract spiraling shapes. These images printed across the fabric are reminiscent of constellations scattered across the night sky, named after ancient historical and mythological figures. Or perhaps they’re like tattoos, also carefully selected and curated to memorialize life’s extraordinary and ordinary moments. Dion’s piece captures a form of storytelling through figures and the body, showing their beauty and power to communicate such depth and history.”
