Jack # Mary Kelly 2001

"Jack # Mary Kelly" is a graphite on paper drawing created by Julie Roberts in 2001. The drawing depicts a woman lying in bed, seemingly asleep, with a large, grotesque, gelatinous mass on a table next to her. Roberts' work often explores themes of mortality and the body, and this drawing is no exception. The graphic detail and the use of the gelatinous mass as a motif evoke a sense of unease and discomfort, hinting at the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. The drawing is a powerful and unsettling image, inviting viewers to confront their own mortality and the nature of human existence.
