I love the language. It takes the familiar to exaggerated heights. Plunging necklines, clinging sweaters, people reACTing, country kitchens and opulent bedrooms. Family, sex, family, betrayal, devotion, revenge, illness, family, twins, amnesia, family, death with no body recovered, return from the "dead," family. I love melodrama. In "Some Men" I watched movies that were made for male audiences (Westerns, war movies, science fiction, crime drama). In this drawing I drew men and thier worlds as depicted in these films. Their language is different, but just as exaggerated. And I look at my own world that is usually inside and is both comforting and claustrophobic. I draw my bed in bed, my kitchen table at the table, a Cape Cod vacation cottage, French doors in France. —Dawn Clements, 2004
