It's been a big year of big goodbyes for the fierce feminist known for her unorthodox views—her hit HBO show Girls ended after six seasons and so did her marriage to her husband of seven years, Michael Mosberg , with whom she shares son Memphis and daughter Rafella. In a new interview with W magazine , the actress, who was an artist long before she slipped into the role of Jessa, opened up about her new solo art exhibition of oil paintings called The Ceremony, which is show about marriage, weddings and ultimately the role of being a wife.
The exhibit features portraits of women like Jemima's sisters Domino Kirke and Lola Kirke in wedding dresses, as well as former co-star Allison Williams. And you do get really sad when you fail at that. In Untogether, written and directed by the author and journalist Emma Forrest, she plays Andrea, a recovering heroin addict and former writing prodigy with long-term creative block and a habit of self-harming. And though her film career may be burgeoning, Kirke still steadfastly refuses to play the fame game.
She recently panned the Oscar favourite La La Land on Twitter, sparking a stream of backlash and abuse. She already has some experience of the trolls. While at art school, she had an abortion without anaesthetic because she could not afford the extra expense, and told her story two years ago in a video for the Centre for Reproductive Rights. At the moment, her priority is teaching her children kindness. ES Money. The Escapist. The Reveller.
The Optimist. In fact, Kirke saw the split as an opportunity to finally explore why women like herself, who otherwise often reject tradition, still feel compelled to get married. They even get caught up in the excitement of finding and wearing a wedding dress.
You often spend years on a single painting, and even though I knew your portrait of Allison Williams was in progress when I saw it in your studio about six months ago , I never would have expected it to take on the dark overtones that it now has in this show. When did you start making most of the paintings in this series—and did you always plan for them to be a bit dark? Yes, I definitely had that in mind. That painting, like all my paintings, started out as one thing, and at the end is completely unrecognizable.
I can't stand playing with children, so you've saved them and me a whole lot of boredom," she captioned the post. Distractify is a registered trademark. All Rights Reserved. People may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
