Pushkin's babushka by Russian Life
Monahan's works on paper, meanwhile, had been conscripted into the general sculptural imperative of the show: Giant charcoal renderings of faces were crumpled into balls and stuck on top of wax torsos or raised on wooden poles like heads on pikes, while numerous transfer drawings--delicate, kaleidoscopic traceries of organic or mechanical forms on translucent carbon paper--were folded and draped here and there, used as bunting, babushkas, and shrouds.
Matthew Monahan by Schambelan, Elizabeth / Artforum International
