Agnes Moorehead & Me
The late Agnes Moorehead (1900-1974) was an accomplished actress who worked in radio, on stage, in film, and on television. During her 41-year career, she earned numerous awards and recognitions including a Primetime Emmy, two Golden Globes, and four Academy Award nominations. Her role as Endora on the television series Bewitched demonstrated her talent; yet, this role was one among many that established her among the greatest character stars of her time. With this series of artworks, I reflect my admiration for her achievements — first, by creating digital collages that hybridize her portrait and my own; and second, by using the combined images to model paintings.
