Molly Vaughan: Project 42
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Bainbridge Island, WA
Producing intriguing and visually arresting works, Seattle artist Molly Vaughan has been honored with the Betty Bowen Award and an exhibition at Seattle Art Museum. BIMA showcases a midway point in the artist’s search to document and honor 42 murdered transgender and gender non-conforming Americans, with 42 representing the life expectancy of trans people. Seeing 21 elaborate gowns and garments, visitors are jolted into awareness of grief embodied with assertive presence.
