oy. i am SO over this girl. She is a prefabricated MTV product who we are told to adore because of her "style."

i would have to agree with the consensus...i like her style but perhaps this is not the best manifestation of it.

is it a good thing for kara walker's ambiguously discomforting silhouettes to be recuperated into commercial objects in the form of accessories? i'm not sure it's good for the art but the buttons sure are adorable.
this is almost exactly what happened to bridget riley after she exhibited a few of her black and white "psychedelic" paintings at MOMA's 1965 "responsive eye" show. her paintings easily translated into textiles, and came to embody "mod" sixties style. Riley has stated in many interviews how she resented this commercialization of her work and felt that it compromised her craft.
