This analysis of McKinney's work is so thorough. I was introduced to her work last year at Night Gallery in Los Angeles. I didn't realize she's been using the paintings in the background of her works as motif for some time now. I also didn't know that she was a smoker, but it makes sense since we often see cigarettes in her works. I don't smoke, but I always feel like I need a drag and some hot tea whenever I spend time with her work. Thank you for this Laura.
