About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Johansen Newman paints a portrait of a blonde tattooed woman in front of a wall of pictures. Two gray cats sit with the same open expressions. Johansen quotes the first stanza from Unbidden by Rae Armantrout as a reference to the title:"The ghosts swarm. They speak as one person. Each loves you. Each has left something undone."
